Are both of these routines and all code they call safe for  
asynchronous execution? (i.e., can they be safely called when the  
program was in the middle of a getmem, I/O operation, ...) Usually the  
most you should ever do inside a signal handler is set some global  
variable, because you have no idea what code is currently actually  
executing.
