client API: comment about signal handlers
Sharing a process sure is hard in POSIX. The rationale is that you'd have to handle EINTR on every single blocking syscall. stream_file.c does not seem to handle it on read() calls. It appears that on most modern systems, this can happen only if you call sigaction(), and incompetently forget to add SA_RESTART. signal() usually adds it.
