From my experience signals on Linux work just fine - I don't carry any signal scars.

That just shows you haven't written enough signal code. :-)

Seriously, let's please not confuse Linux with portable. The issues here are about the cross-platform viability of your suggested approach. If you've only used signals on Linux, maybe you should withdraw yourself on account of lack of experience with the real issues.
