No, I set gdb to stop on the SIGALRM signal, and it enters into the one
running main thread. I'm still hoping there's something in the asm
converters, which doesn't cause problems with threads (and therefore in
windows and threaded X11) - but well, causes problems with signals.
Wasn't there a similiar problem not allowing floating point inside
timers, when using non-threaded versions?
