I think instead of calling abort() to kill the process, you should: - install the signal handler with SANODEFER|SARESETHAND (or if sigaction is not present, explicitly reset the action to SIGDFL and unblock first thing upon entering the handler), and then, - at the end of the handler, kill(getpid(), origsignal) in order to abort the process. I don't think that kill() is available on Windows.

Thanks to Brian Curtin there is now an os.kill() on Windows, but it doesn't handle the full range of signals.
