Hi Karl,

> I don't get any loop with the tex that's part of TL'20.

This is an indication that something is done in a non-portable way in web2c.
My first guess is (from `man signal'):

       Furthermore, certain blocking system calls are
       automatically restarted if interrupted by a signal handler (see
signal(7)).
