Great! These patches (seem to) fix another issue I noticed yesterday 
with signal handling. I have pushed out my code for testing this stuff 
at https://github.com/volatile-ranges-test/vranges-test . The code and 
the scripts are still unpolished (as in you don't get a pass or fail) 
but they seem to work just fine.
