If my sig-stack patch is there please remove it. It was incomplete and I am waiting for 2.1 (patiently) to do a solid implementation. The patch did support forking but it didn't adequately handle quite a few things.
I had wanted to support mmapping the alt-stack as a GROWSDOWN area so you could have a sig-stack that grows, and lots of other stuff, but the patch was half-hearted since I was assured it wouldn't go in 2.0.
