sigaction should be available on any non-antique system (I actually
fail to come up with any system that I know it wouldn't work on, but
I'd guess Ultrix would be out in the cold).
Of course, there may be portability issues with sigaction as well, but
I think there are less problems with sigaction than with signal.
