I was recenlty shown AIX's SIGDANGER (33). It is a signal that the kernel issues to [some] running processes when it gets dangerously low on space, by default SIGDANGER causes programs to die, freeing up memory, system critical processes and server processes woulf be compiled to ignore SIGDANGER. This seems like a very good idea, could it be done in FreeBSD? I remember someone talking about changing the signal structs to be an array of INTs, instead of just an int to accomidate more than 32 signals.
