Hello,
Not exactly infinite loop but sigsuspend. Infinite loop was only
example to show the problem. Without printf in sig handler problem
also occures.
I am writing simple stop-the-world garbage collector so I need this
construction to stop (almost)all threads in application. I think only
solution for this problem is not using any stream that client
application may use.
Thanks for help anyway :)
