That is just a bug in the unix library, Unix.system calls waitpid in

caml.inria.fr/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/ocaml/version/4.00/otherlibs/unix/unix.ml?view=markup#l849

instead of waitpid_non_intr
http://caml.inria.fr/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/ocaml/version/4.00/otherlibs/unix/unix.ml?view=markup#l1002

I get the same behaviour without lwt:

         OCaml version 4.00.1

# #load "unix.cma";;
# Sys.set_signal 10 (Sys.Signal_handle
    (fun _ -> print_endline "A perfect ten"));;
- : unit = ()
# Unix.system "sleep 20";;
A perfect ten
Exception: Unix.Unix_error (Unix.EINTR, "waitpid", "").
#

All I had to do is send a signal 10 to the ocaml process
from another shell.

It probably escaped notice so far because only lwt_unix does enough strange
things with signals in the default config to trigger it reliably.
