I'm not so sure that setting an unsupporting signal and
expecting the operation to not crash/abort is valid ANSI-C:

http://www.ndp77.net/ansi_c/ac04.htm#4.7

Quote: "The complete set of signals, their semantics, and
their default handling is implementation-defined; all signal
values shall be positive."

Listed under "Implementation-Defined Behavior":

The list of supported signals:

I'll also switch to VS 2005 soon. This should be fixed, even
if the binary distribution will continue to be compiled
using VS .NET 2003.
