I think handling_signal should only be incremented in XTread_socket if
!SYNC_INPUT.  With SYNC_INPUT (which is the default) the SIGIO handler
doesn't actually call read_avail_input.

That won't fix the bug when !SYNC_INPUT, but I think that option should
be removed.  Furthermore, handling_signal is also incremented in
handle_async_input for HAVE_NS, but I think this should be
conditionalized by !SYNC_INPUT as well.

Andreas.
