What is a good complaint ??? doesn't the 'P' in POSIX stand for portable
? What you continually offer is non-portable extensions that make it
impossible to run the same code on any environment other than RTLinux.
A better idea might be to use what exists so that we all have a chance
of running our code on a number of operating systems. May I suggest
that a SIGHUP may be construed as a wakeup signal to a thread (it has
been used context before), this may be bogus too, but you get the idea:
try to use something that has a chance of being portable.
