Comma-separated list of signal numbers to avoid postponing of the signal handlers. Your application will deadlock if one of the handlers uses socket function. By default, the list includes SIGILL, SIGBUS, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV and SIGPROF.

Please specify numbers, not string aliases: EF_SIGNALS_NOPOSTPONE=7,11,27 instead of EF_SIGNALS_NOPOSTPONE=SIGBUS,SIGSEGV,SIGPROF.

You can set EF_SIGNALS_NOPOSTPONE to empty value to postpone all signal handlers in the same way if you suspect these signals to call network functions.
