+# That thread's functionality is only useful for debugging the JVM, so disabling
+# it should not weaken the tests.

+# There's no safe way of stopping the thread completely (#123982), but simply
+# unblocking SIGUSR1 is enough to fix most tests.
+#
+# However, in tests that generate multiple different signals in quick
+# succession, it's possible for SIGUSR1 to arrive while the main thread is busy
+# running the C-level handler for a different signal. In that case, the SIGUSR1
+# may be sent to the Signal Catcher thread instead, which will generate a log
+# message containing the text "reacting to signal".
+#
+# Such tests may need to be changed in one of the following ways:
+# * Use a signal other than SIGUSR1 (e.g. test_stress_delivery_simultaneous in
+# test_signal.py).
+# * Send the signal to a specific thread rather than the whole process (e.g.
+# test_signals in test_threadsignals.py.
