This is not an error -- it would be an error to fix a set of 
signals that would be presumed to all that are needed in any
 systems. POSIX defines a core set of signals that must be implemented and
an API.  BTW the RT signals are merely defined by a range. The
implementation is required to provide MAX and MIN definitions but POSIX
at least does not presume to tell us how big this range must be.
