Comment (by suokko):

 I suspect issue might be thread race in signal and glib event handling.
 But I would need to write some test code to prove that signal and
 sigaction functions work as I believe they work. But if my theory is
 correct there is already fix for this bug commited for 3.0.0.
 https://hg.pidgin.im/pidgin/main/rev/161320946afd

 But still there is other possible signal handling issues because glib may
 use sigaction to register handler while pidgin uses signal. I suppose
 correct fix for possible signal bugs is to use glib signal source
 interface to handle all unix signals.
