I don't think you right in this case.
This is kas-milter and in this thread (this is multi-thread
application) kas-milter wait for USR2 for reload config.

System return from sigwait only on USR2, but not each return w/
non-zero return code.

On freebsd7 this application don't complain about sigwait's return value.
