While rooting aroung in the signal code trying to understand how to fix the SIG_IGN ploy (set sig handler to SIG_IGN and flood system with high speed repeating timers) I came across what, I think, is a problem in sigaction() in that when processing a SIG_IGN request it flushes signals from 1 to SIGRTMIN and leaves the rest. The attached patch is an attempt to fix this. -- George Anzinger george@mvista.com HRT (High-res-timers): http://sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers/
