Async IO is an outdated paradigm anyway. Try using threads.
You can recommend whatever strategy to him you desire, point remains
that there is a bug in SIGIO in the kernel and we should fix it.
I am only mentioning this because you phrased your advice to sound
like he should use threads instead of expecting this bug to get fixed,
and that is wrong.
