There is more, the standard also says that SIGURG should be ignored by default and currently generates a core dump. BTW there is one more signal bug, SA_NODEFER currently does not only allow the sent signal, it disables the complete sa_mask. The fix is easy: take the sigorset (and the spinlock) out of the condition in handle_signal. I did sent patch already for this, but it seems it got lost... (so it's fixed only in the m68k part).
bye, Roman
