Attached as a gzipped text file. Sorry for posting a "binary", but I
couldn't pass up the 3:1 compression. Please quote relevant parts of
the discussion if you want to comment on things. Total time to cull
and clean this, about 90 minutes.
I hope it explains the motivations and reasoning behind the sig()
semantics change. Armed with the full context, we might be able to
come up with a better and lasting resolution to the signals problems.
Regarding SIGCHLD, I think Philip Gwyn later suggested some form of
process ID watcher to supplant the signal. I don't think he proposed
it on the list, though.
