A bug in signal_handler thread initialization led to an overcomplicated implementation of wait_for_signal_handler_to_end, namely that we could fail to initialize the signal handler but mark it as active anyway. This meant that we could wait for it to terminate when it didn't exist in the first place.
Additionally, let's immediately close down the signal handler loop when we decide to break connections--it's the start of process termination anyway, and there's no need to wait once we've invoked break_connections.
