It's not a bug. It's a feature! Especially, if it is combined with siginterrupt, it is more flexible and much more natural than SYSV `signal', while it still can be used without man pages, which cannot be done with sigaction. The rather complicated and powerful sigaction seems to be the only portable way. I did know about it before, but I thought that it is too complicated to be portable and stayed away. Many thanks to all for kindly telling me the facts and not flaming me. I did make test before on Linux, AIX and DEC OSF/1.
