So, if I read that correctly, sleep can be called from a thread.

I checked in a patch that should fix the call_signal_handler_now SIGSEGV
but I don't exactly understand why a signal handler was being called
here at all.  It doesn't look like anything in broadcast.c should be
generating a signal unless there is another SIGSEGV/SIGBUS/SIGLL lurking
elsewhere.

If that is the case, then the signal handler bug may have been masking
another problem.  With luck, my checkin will allow us to see what the
problem is.  Or Robert will tell me why there should have been a signal
generated in broadcast.c...
