The pthreads documentation explicitly says "These functions will not return an 
error code of [EINTR]."  Nobody has complained that they were seeing those 
messages, so I think we're safe from both angles.

In that message I'm just talking about Till's bug-fix that substitutes a 
while() for the if() in two places in the posix/osdEvent.c file.  The other 
stuff was a separate conversation which I haven't studied yet, so feel free to 
keep discussing it...
