So far, I understand. Question is, when the kernel decides to deliver
a signal to thread A, which doesn't have it currently in the signal
mask, it adds the signal to the thread signal masks, removes the pending
bit and calls the handler. Now the same signal is send to the application
again. Is thread B allowed to handle that signal while thread A is still
running in the signal handler?
