The lock is the one that protects the list of signal handlers. As long as 
you have signal handlers, the lock will be in place.

There are no plans to address this issue.

Bindings usually work around the issue by not calling out to user code 
when processing incoming messages. Instead, they place the messages in a 
queue and then call to user code after dispatching is done.
