I do find the strings somewhat long though.  The lines wrap, and that
distracts people from the important bit, which is that a signal was
received.  Are people really interested in the bit between.  Isn't it
better to print just:

  Thread 2 received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.

Folks can then use "info threads" to look at the details of the thread.
