curl/RELEASE-NOTES
Yang Tse e4b754f64e Fixed: When a signal was caught awaiting for an event using Curl_select()
or Curl_poll() with a non-zero timeout both functions would restart the
specified timeout. This could even lead to the extreme case that if a
signal arrived with a frecuency lower to the specified timeout neither
function would ever exit.

Added experimental symbol definition check CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR in
Curl_select() and Curl_poll(). When compiled with CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR
defined both functions will return as soon as a signal is caught. Use it
at your own risk, all calls to these functions in the library should be
revisited and checked before fully supporting this feature.
