    Documentation: Describe when sigsuspend() restores the signal mask.
    
    sigsuspend() runs the handlers of the signals that its mask unblocks
    before it restores the original mask, also in a system call.  The page
    did not say this, and it listed the restore of the mask as a difference
    from POSIX, which requires it.
