Changes (by jdemeyer):

  * status:  needs_review => needs_work
  * work_issues:  => doctest


Comment:

 Please add the following doctest (`sage/tests/interrupt.pyx` is a good
 place for this test):
 {{{
 """
 Show that `SIGCHLD` is completely ignored by default. If the process
 `p` finishes, there should be no `SIGCHLD` signal, so ``select()`` will
 simply time out::

     sage: from select import select
     sage: import subprocess

     sage: p = subprocess.Popen(["sleep", "1"])  # long time
     sage: select([], [], [], 1.5)               # long time
     ([], [], [])
     sage: p.poll()                              # long time
     0

 We now do the same but after installing a dummy `SIGCHLD`
 handler::

     sage: import signal
     sage: def dummy_handler(a,b):
     ....:    pass
     sage: signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, dummy_handler)  # random
     sage: p = subprocess.Popen(["sleep", "1"])  # long time
     sage: select([], [], [], 1.5)               # long time
     Traceback (most recent call last):
     ...
     error: (4, 'Interrupted system call')
     sage: p.poll()                              # long time
     0

 Reset the `SIGCHLD` handler::

     sage: signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, signal.SIG_IGN)  # random
 """
 }}}
