Any such implementation of SIGWINCH should ensure that the SIG_DFL
action is to ignore the signal, not to terminate the process.

I mention this because I see that AT&T hasn't yet changed the
wording in the SVID to agree with the result of the P1003
discussion about this issue.  SIG_DFL should NOT always mean
"terminate".
