THere is nothing like this in the standard.  In fact, no correct program
can fail this way since you would have to do something to the mutex in a
signal handler which isn't allowed.  Still, reporting the problem is
fine.  If you don't like it, file an interpretation request.

What is your problem?  If the signal handler is called no condvar signal
is used.
