By "that's" I mean "NOT queuing signals there is" in case that wasn't
clear.

It occurs to me, though, that queuing signals all over hashtable.c may
be an over-reaction.  Maybe the problem is just with re-entering the
endparamscope() routine, and that's where queue_signals() is needed.

Which is a much smaller change, and probably harmless even if it does
not help:
