This started to get me really concerned, so I did a fair bit of googling
on the subject. AFIK, we are probably ok longjmp-ing out of a callback
issued by QueueUserAPC. There are three mitigating factors wrt longjmp
& QueueUserAPC:

1. The callback runs on the same thread as the backend/signal routine
2. the signal is called/raised at the 'end' of the callback
3. there is very little stack involved.
