Subject:	1.3.11: accept ist not interrupted by a signal

I am a bit confused about the current signal handling in a blocking
accept call (i have not checked other system calls yet)
If the process is blocked it is not interrupted by a signal. It first
waits until a connection is made and call the signal handler afterwards.
Is this by design ? IMHO it should call the signal handler and return
EINTR.

I have attached a small testprogram.

When i press CTRL-C during accept the program will stay until i make a
connection, then the signal handler is called. If i press CTRL-C twice the
process starts to eat CPU time.
