           Summary: sighandler is calling non async safe functions

The sighandler function in slon.c calls slon_log() which in turn makes calls to
non-async safe functions including pthread_mutex_lock() and malloc().

We should not be doing this. Occasionally my slon process kill get in a state
where it stops and I can't kill it unless I do a kill -9.   This might be the
cause of that.

We should alter sighandler to only call async safe signals (ie no slon_log)

slon_terminate_worker should also not call slon_log since sighanlder calls it
(but otherwise it seems safe)
