- I think the problem is that lines you first quote above are not as clear
- as they could be. The "shall be delivered to the thread that caused the
- signal to be generated" means immediately, regardless of the blocking
- state etc, as in .1. There was no intention in .4a to change any of the
- synchronously generated signal semantics from what is specified in .1.
- The second paragraph is only intended to be relevant to signals
- asynchronously generated, eg using pthread_kill() or alarm().
