Because it screws up the signals. Coroutines can start in a thread and
later move to another. If you use the gthread backend, coroutines keep
the signal mask of the thread where they were created.
It is basically the same bug that was fixed in commit 6ab7e54 (Replace
all setjmp()/longjmp() with sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp(), 2013-02-20).
