[erlang-questions] Using sigwait in linked driver causes erl_ddll:load to return {error, {open_error, -10}}

Signal handling is at per process handling in Linux (in *nix systems
generally). IMHO it is wrong idea using it in linked-in drivers at all. You
will end up with unmaintainable mess because each change in signal handling
in erts or any other linked-in driver will break whole system.
>From man page:
sigwait suspends the calling thread until one of the signals in
set is delivered to the calling thread. It then stores the number of the
signal received in the location pointed to by sig and returns. The
signals in set must be blocked and not ignored on entrance to sigwait. If
the delivered signal has a signal handler function attached, that
function is not called.
As you can see, you can easily break things there. For example may be you
wait for same signal which is vital for erl_ddll:load or any other part of
erts.
