Strictly yes, but see:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Atomic-Types.html

basically 'int' (and uint32_t) is atomic on any platform that Samba
has any chance of running on. If you want to change it to
sig_atomic_t and add a configure test then it won't do any harm, but I
don't think it makes any difference either.

Cheers, Tridge
