There is stuff about a SA_SIGINFO signal handler's siginfo_t argument
"shall contain" the various specified information like si_pid/si_uid values
for a kill caller.

And a "good point" back to you, sir! I think the right way to think about
this in terms of resource consumption is that sizeof(struct sigqueue)*31 is
part of the potential per-process overhead that make up the consumption
units one should have in mind when choosing how to set the RLIMIT_NPROC limit.


Thanks,
Roland
