	Yes, it's a bug which is fixed in the next major release.
Fortunately, only the BSD version of signal is affected, and only when
attempting to catch SIGCONT.  Therefore, you may substitute either
sigvec(3B) (if you want to stay with BSD signal routines), or POSIX 
sigaction(2).  (The BSD routines are libraries built on top of POSIX
system calls).  Thank you for reporting this.
