Fair enough (just goes to show how out-of-date my CVS checkout is). :-)
To the OP: the authoritative document on this used to be the
"how-signals-work.txt" file in winsup/cygwin, which is currently out of
date. Watch it for updates, but until then, the code is your best guide.
To get the source from CVS, see <http://cygwin.com/cvs.html>.
