From: Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB) <gwyn@brl-vgr> I have made a minor change in the signal(2) routine I posted a couple of days ago, to eliminate the possibility of EINTR being returned for system calls that aren't supposed to return that errno. Anyone who wants a fresh copy, mail me a note. (All I did was check the bytes after the CHMK to ensure it was a read, write, ioctl, wait, readv, or writev syscall.)

That mod does not completely satisfy my earlier warning, even reads and writes (sometimes - like file i/o) are uninterruptible. There's no easy way to tell. Robert Elz decvax!mulga!kre
