If signal_handlers is CAMLlocal (or equivalent). Although since
register_global_root doesn't [currently] call the gc, it's probably okay as
is, but why risk it?
Perhaps all of the c-callable runtime functions should have a special
prefix or suffix if they can cause a collection, and then the docs can be
clear about what you can do before/after/between/whatever these specially
marked calls. Of course, then you'd have to transition everybody to the
new calls, which is a pain (or you could make it an #ifdef in the headers
like STRICT on win32).
