Nah, if the program isn't event driven, a signal still ought to be able to interrupt the syscall. Lynx probably just doesn't bother. | I'm wondering if Plan 9 has the same restriction/property. Plan 9 has a much better bug: if a fileserver doesn't answer 9p messages, a communicating process blocked in read/write never gets unblocked and can't be killed with a signal. Sigh.
