Didn't Sun buy that stuff from "Interactive" when they went out of
business? Or was it SCO? It is mostly a BSD Hack I was told. Maybe
not. It would be interesting to look at the source and see if the
kernel code was copied verbatum.... in particular the signal stuff.
All three seem to have the same "BSD bug" of sending a signal on select()
and alarm() before the call to select() or alarm() returns.
