Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:242 SimonKing]:
 > Why does "interrupted system call" mean?
 It means, quite literally, that a system call got interrupted by a signal.
 If a system call (for example some file I/O operation) gets interrupted by
 a signal, then that system call might fail with "interrupted system call",
 even if the signal was properly handled by the application.  Note the use
 of "might", there is a long discussion in the `signal(7)` man page
 explaining to which calls this applies.
