An emission hook is a global hook function to be called anytime the  
signal is emitted on any instance.  This is rarely what you want.   
Emission hooks are used for implementing developer tools and special- 
purpose monitors and debugging.  You should not need them in 99% of  
cases.

Indeed, as you pointed out in your reply to yourself, the problem was  
actually in the underlying library.  ;-)
