Nah, I vote for blaming it on Microsoft programmers.  They actually
figured out how to write a working signal handler, therefore set a bad

follow that example. Oh wait there's is Bill Joy and the boys from BSD
networking, let's blame them, since they started this mess.

Just couldn't resist,

BTW. I will fix it in the next week(s) in my tree.
