And in 4.3BSD, where it's

	#define SIGUSR2 31	/* user defined signal 2 */

...or try just #defining SIGUSR2 and 31 and see how it goes.  If the
code is supposed to work under 4.3BSD, this will probably fix that part,
although there may be other 4.3BSDisms not in 4.2BSD that it depends on.
If the code wasn't made to work under 4.3BSD, you may have more work to
do (or you may just get lucky).
