Bug 000091

When Created: 06/13/1996 09:51:57
Against DJGPP version: 2.00
By whom: eliz@is.elta.co.il
Abstract: `sigaction' always returns SIG_DFL instead of previous handler
The library function `sigaction' always returns SIG_DFL, even if
a handler has already been installed for its signal argument.  Thus,
if a program needs to temporary uninstall the signal handler and then
reinstall it, and relies on `sigaction' to return the current handler,
it will get SIG_DFL and thus effectively revert the signal handling
to the default state (i.e. the next signal will abort the program).
