I think the answer will turn out to be "no" (though it's worth testing anyway), because the syscall we're blocking in in this case is select(), which is a syscall which will exit when a signal arrives anyway. That is, I think we're really hitting the race condition of the signal arriving while we're in QEMU's C code, rather than the stuck-in-blocking-syscall of the boehm GC case. -- PMM
