I know nothing about the various Sun OSs. However, UNIX System V Release 4
does provide both reliable signals *and* the capability of queueing them.
As an example, it can be arranged that a parent process receive an
individual signal when *each* of its child processes exits. The
individual signals *are* queued. SIGIO can also be queued in this way.

For those with manuals, check out the SA_SIGINFO parameter
to sigaction(2); and siginfo(5).
