Hey,

I am trying to find out an answer to a question that no one I have talked
to as of yet can answer.  Here goes ...

If a user defined signal (SIGUSR1) is sent during a critical part of a
processing, will sigvec mark the stack so that processing will take place
at the point of the signal??  I know with signal you must do setjmp and
longjmp.  If this is done processing logic that falls after the signal is
missed.

I would appreciate any information regarding sigvec.

Mark
