I ran it, and it froze in the between-section countdown.  When into gdb and
attached the process, and it's stuck forever and ever in sigpause() so I
don't think they're using signals very wisely.

Almost sounds like a classic == vs. (a - b) < epison type deal, but I'm not
how real numbers can come into play with signals (not knowing much about them).
Either that or NeXTstep sometimes "undoes" their signals or something.
