I was discussing the difference between bsd signals and linux signals,
and why you should either use sigaction or define __USE_BSD_SIGNAL
to get "reasonable" behavior, and mentioned a quote... well, here's
the original (or at least the sig I first saw it in.) _Mark_
# greywolf@ossi.com
# "...to raise a signal means to turn the light on; ... Responding to a
# signal means turning the light off (and, under System V, hoping the bulb
# won't blow when it's next turned on)..." -- Dan Bernstein
