Seemed like I remembered reading that threaded processes used sigchld,
usr1 and usr2 for different things...I know for a fact usr1 and usr2 are
used, as I had to remove eggdrop's handler code for those back around
1.3.25 to make eggdrop work with threaded tcl at all. sigchld may not be,
but I can't remember where I read about it right now.
