+execution of the signal handler); otherwise, the thread shall
+continue as normal from the completed barrier wait. Until the thread
+in the signal handler returns from it, it is unspecified whether
+other threads may proceed past the barrier once they have all reached
+it.

+<P>A thread that has blocked on a barrier shall not prevent any
+unblocked thread that is eligible to use the same processing
+resources from eventually making forward progress in its execution.
