But SIGFPE and SIGINT exist, right? and I saw someone post some code 
for SIGINT which is equivalent to setting up an Int-24h handler. Aren't 
these signals available, i.e. the usual stuff can be done with them? I 
suppose not all of the POSIX signals are supported -- that's to be 
expected, but which ones are?
