Instead, it returns true if the handler is modified, false otherwise.  Its caller, user_handler(), then prints all the handlers just once even if multiple signal handlers were modified.

Will this reduce the messages we were seeing in this bug https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8279878 ?
If this is the same thing, is there a reason it is coupled to -Xcheck:jni ?
