You are correct here now, but not at the time I have issued the original request. Values for SIGRTMIN, SIGRTMAX initially appeared only in version 1.47 (Oct 2005) and was incorrect. Revision 1.53 reduced SIGRTMAX from 128 to 126 exactly concerning this my PR. So, if we stick on treating 126 as maximal possible signal number which doesn't break existing ABI, all seems satisfied and I suggest simply to close it as fixed. No need to change any more. -netch- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
