This is really not an issue, since we exit on these signals. So, if there is
any unfinished action somewhere else on the code, it will not return back
there.

The problem with handling signals is if you choose to ignore them (or perform
some other action other than exit) and use unsafe functions in the handler.
When the execution returns to where it was before, bad things can happen.

I think we are pretty safe on it...
