There is stuff about a SA_SIGINFO signal handler's siginfo_t argument "shall contain" the various specified information like si_pid/si_uid values for a kill caller. > Good point.

I think the right way to think about this in terms of resource consumption is that sizeof(struct sigqueue)*31 is part of the potential per-process overhead that make up the consumption units one should have in mind when choosing how to set the RLIMIT_NPROC limit.
