Linux signals

[Walt Drummond]

Hi --

I'm chasing down some information about how the JVM interacts with
signals on Linux.  Specifically I need to understand if any of the
Java runtime attempts to directly inspect the system stack when in a
POSIX signal handler.  My survey of the code doesn't seem to show any
such uses, and in fact it looks like the JVM relies only on the POSIX
signals API but I figured I'd ask the experts for confirmation.

Thanks.
