Likely I should point out this code is not 100% percent thread safe.

People doing thousands of signal events per second from an async  
thread should think carefully about the code.

This becomes a bit more of a problem given 4GHz machines with dual or  
quad processors.
The original solution to the problem I posted many years ago used a  
semaphore, but I was told those don't exist on some platforms so the  
current code does not
do thread safe locking of any form.


Losing an occasional signal event is of course is a bear to debug...
