signals & system calls

[Paul Barton-Davis]

I ought to be able to answer this, but ...

Suppose a process receives a signal, but makes no system calls. Am I
right in thinking that it will not receive the signal until its time
quantum expires, it is rescheduled, and finally gets to run again ? 

In other words, perhaps up to (NPROCS-1)*quantum seconds after the
arrival of the signal, in the worst case ?
