 Replying to [comment:6 Hello71]:
 > Ah, I remember. I read the EINTR part of the ERRORS section, and I
 interpreted it to mean that we will never receive EINTR, contrary to your
 quote. I filed https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199711 to ask
 which one it is.
 Thanks for filing the kernel bug report! It looks like libevent might
 always set `SA_RESTART` when installing signal handlers on systems with
 `sigaction()`? (at least based on my quick skim of the source)
