Description
The signal-test.scm program in the core test-suite may hang indefinitely when port 9999 is already in use. A forked child process calls tcp-listen in a separate thread to wait for a termination message from the parent process. If the tcp-listen fails, the thread dies (but not the process) and hangs.
