Control: retitle -1 perl: occasionally stuck in Perl_pp_lock and no longer
responds to trapped signals

This is a script with worker threads, and there is nothing that
could make the main thread hang. In particular, according to
logging messages, no locks are involved here. The only thing
related to threading in this part of the code is
$queue->enqueue($_[0]);
where $queue has been created with
my $queue = Thread::Queue->new();
(note that there is no limit of the size of the queue, and even
if there had been one, this should not have been an issue).
So perhaps there's something wrong in the Thread::Queue
implementation.
