in reply to Re^6: SIGHUP delivered on Windows
in thread SIGHUP delivered on Windows

could it be that an exception occuring within this signal handler (or a second signal arriving by that time) could be translated somehow into a SIGHUP?

I cannot see how that could happen.

Firstly, for you to get to the line where you do kill SIGHUP, $$, your process would have to have already received a SIGHUP; because you're just rethrowing it. But I am unaware of anything that would ever send you a SIGHUP.

There is the vague possibility that another Perl process could be sending your process a SIGHUP; but as far as I'm aware, any attempt to do so would simply get translated into a SIGTERM.
