That is why I was rephrasing Maxim's statement to mean "UNIX  signals 
handlers as error mechanism is a complete disaster."

I don't do UNIX system programming at C level since 2002, but my POSIX 
memories, is that it is as portable as C, with its share of undefined 
behaviors and OS specific extensions.

And if I recall correctly the behavior of what was allowed to do in the 
signal handler, and how UNIX/libc functions would behave upon 
interruption was not that stable across multiple UNIX variants.
