What about multithreaded apps?
old = pgsignal(SIPEPIPE, SIG_IGN);
** another thread calls sigaction(SIGPIPE,,);
pgsignal(SIGPIPE, old);
And the signal state is corrupted. What about extending pgsignal:
pgsignal(signo, SIG_ERR);
reads the current signal handler. I'll update my patch.

I agree - global state would require global synchronization.
