Ok, the only signals that might reasonably be sent are floating point
error and segfaults. We will see if we ever want to test for them
(normally you want your code not to do this...). Other signals are
probably not critical enough to care for them. In the worst case, we
have a 30-hour simulation running. While it is annoying to get it
killed, it is not extremely critical.
