If a signal is called when C_interrupts_enabled is false, the signal
handler turns into a no-op.

global_signal_handler calls C_raise_interrupt, but C_raise_interrupt
does nothing if C_interrupts_enabled is false, the entire routine is
contained in that if statement.

My reading of that is that a signal being delivered when
C_interrupts_enabled is false wil cause that signal to be discarded.

Yes?
