Are you sure? Doesn't sigsetjmp() call sigprocmask in order to obtain
the current signal mask?

In the glibc I read:

int
__sigjmp_save (sigjmp_buf env, int savemask)
{
env[0].__mask_was_saved = (savemask &&
__sigprocmask (SIG_BLOCK, (sigset_t *) NULL,
&env[0].__saved_mask) == 0);

return 0;
}

*sigh* things could be so easy if there was a working pselect()...
