Marcel,

Just curious as to what the motivation for re-ordering the
sa_flags and sa_mask members in sigaction were?  The manpage
still describes the old order BTW.

My Alpha box has been limping through a package build and I've
noticed a number of ports that seem to be falling over for
signal-related changes.  One in particular would be the rawio
port which expects sa_mask to be before sa_flags in struct
sigaction.

Thanks.
