More or less what was already said - I think if your tets environment runs
thing sin a very nonstandard environment, it should cope with the results.
Running programs with standard signals blocked puts an unneecssary burdne
on test authors, and therefore, is the primary place where things should
be changed.

No, AnyEvent tests try to make sure AnyEvent works as advertised. Blocking
standard signals, running the test suite and expecting specific results
sounds like the wrong approach to me.
