man siginfo in Solaris and man sigaction in AIX and Tru64 are quite
helpful.  But I think for the time being the attached patch will have
to do: only signo, code, errno are decoded (seems the be the smallest
supported set from my smaple), and the test is changed to test just for
the signal value itself -- I can't see why anyone would bother
implementing even a little bit of SA_SIGINFO and fail to supply
the signal value -- but I have been known to be too optimistic.
If even that fails, the whole test needs to be excised.

Perl cannot help systems that aren't POSIX, whether they claim it or
not, on purpose or not.
