- I tried to call Psigsetmask from a trap 2 handler via the
- kernal table once. I can't remember if it allways crashed, or just
- when a signal was pending, but it did crash. The only thing I could
- see in the source code that would explain the crash was a call to
- check_sigs(). Pkill also calls check_sigs().

- Perhaps post_sig ought to be placed in the kerinfo structure?
