I understand.... I thought there was a gap above SIGRTMAX. It sure looks like there is. However, 0177 (127) is used to signal that the process is STOPPED, so can't be used. This is why SIGRTMAX is 126 and not 127. There's room in sigset_t, but that's not sufficient. And it has to be an actual signal we send, not just a flag. So forget I said anything. This was a silly idea. If we find any real thing that's using SIGRTMAX, we'll cope. Warner
