according to "info libc" fprintf is nonreentrant and should not
be used in signal handlers.
btw, exit_sighandler in mplayer.c is "bloated" =)
i think it should be implemented as is in mencoder.c
(no, i cannot do it, because it lead to modifying of main() in
mplayer.c and i simple cannot read and understand ~2.5K lines
long function with tons of #ifdef's =/)
