Can somebody list out the possible situations where the usage of a separate stack for a signal handler is helpful? I can think of two possible situations where it may be useful. 1) some kind of thread management within a process. 2) some debugger routine which is part of the same process. But my ideas are vague and in any case I am not sure if there is a situation where the absence of this facility will be really felt? I will be thankful if someone can throw some light. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
