+/* MIPS is special by having 128 signals.
|

|
+ * All (?) other architectures have at most 64 signals.
|
|
|
+ * Having 128 signals is problematic because signal nos are 1-based
|
|
|
+ * and last signal number is then 128.
|
|
|
+ * This plays havoc with WIFSIGNALED and WCOREDUMP in waitpid status word,
|
|
|
+ * when process dies from signal 128.
|
|
|
+ * Linux kernel 3.9 accepts signal 128, with awful results :/
|
|
|
+ * It is being fixed.

|
|
|
+ * in the comment above that definition). We follow suit.
