According to POSIX, behavior is unspecified if a specific thread receives one of those signals (because of e.g. executing an invalid instruction) if the signal is blocked.
This resulted in segfaults in threads not propagating to the main thread.
Adresses #848
* origin/fastpath:
Add sorting canonifier to rotate-custom unit test. (addresses #846)
Fix compiler warnings
Fix segfault when there's an error/timeout resolving DNS requests.
The output on stderr for this test is the results of many backgrounded
"echo" commands, one for each rotation, so the order in which they
occur may be subject to OS process scheduling and can't be relied upon
* origin/topic/bernhard/reader-info:
fix small bug - now configuration actually is passed.
add mode to readerinfo - no need to have it separately everywhere anymore.
introduce reader-info struct analogous to writer-info.
Introduce support for a table of key/value pairs with further configuration options, with the same userinterface as in the logging interface.
make writer-info work when debugging is enabled

The srand()/rand() interface was being intermixed with the
srandom()/random() one. The later is now used throughout.
Changed the srand() and rand() BIFs to work deterministically if Bro
was given a seed file (addresses #825). They also now wrap the
system's srandom() and random() instead of srand() and rand() as per
the above.
Generally tried to make them more reliable and execute quicker.
They all now load the listen script as a trick to make sure input
sources are fully read, but also terminate() at appropriate times
so that they don't take more time than needed. They're also all
serialized with the 'comm' group so listening on a port doesn't
interfere with the communication tests.
