I'm not better than you at C, but I did have to dig deep into this for
my `bc', so I thought I would offer my 2 cents.
First off, sigaction() is complex, but it is better in every other
way. It gives you a lot more options, has better ways of querying the
current signal handlers, has better
signal() defaults to SA_RESTART, xsignal() uses sigaction() which does not. I'm
not sure which is correct? (It's currently using signal() and things seem ok
with what?)
*shrug* The readall() code assumes no SA_RESTART. The main downside of signal by
default I'm aware of is having to poll before
