Should you use SIG_UNBLOCK instead of SIG_SETMASK? It took me several
minutes to figure out that SIG_SETMASK will work because
PreviousSignalMask *always* contains SIGIO as it is set after
the call to OsBlockSIGIO in OsBlockSignals. Either that, or a comment
explaining why this works so future-me doesn't get confused again...
