I  thought  about  it a bit and definitely came to the conclusion that system
calls not being interruptable is quite bad.   The  canonical  case  would  be
where I have created some tmp files some where, so I want to catch SIGINT and
SIGHUP so that I can clean up.  If I am reading from a device or a human, now
hitting control-C will do nothing.
