The last answer at this link seems to know more than the rest of us:

Maybe there is something there.

Yes, it mentions pthread_kill.  That appears to allow us to direct a
signal to a particular thread.

I'm attaching a patch that seems to at least partially work for me.
At least interrupts seem to work now inside sleep and long running
functions like "inv (large_matrix)", but now I also get random
segfaults when typing Ctrl-C in the command window after a few
interrupts have been processed (it seems random).

I don't expect it will work on Windows.  I suppose it just
happens to work for me because Qt is using pthreads on my system.
What if Qt doesn't use pthreads?
