We don't see the problem on linux, since there's a stop and
resume *right at the begining* of the signal handler, due to the
single-step entering the signal handler. GDB happens
to re-install breakpoints in the inferior in that resume. This
happens *before* the inferior's flow passing by the instruction
where there's a breakpoint at ("break handle_USR1" is installed
after the prologue).
