Ah, I think I see the problem: if SIGINT is received before cancelConn
has been set, handle_sigint will do siglongjmp(main_loop_jmp, 1) ...
and the longjmp buffer is never set up in this control path.

Seems like there needs to be a main_loop_jmp_ready flag to prevent
an attempted siglongjmp before the buffer is set.  Or perhaps don't
establish the signal handler until main_loop_jmp is valid?
