30 /*----- Revision history --------------------------------------------------*
33 * Revision 1.5 1999/06/19 20:35:45 mdw
34 * Whoops. I'd left the type of the jump buffer as `sigjmp_buf'.
36 * Revision 1.4 1999/06/19 20:33:16 mdw
37 * More sophisticated and excessive signal and alarm handling.
39 * Revision 1.3 1999/06/06 01:23:00 mdw
40 * Fix signal handling.
42 * Revision 1.2 1999/05/26 20:53:40 mdw
43 * Fixes for stupid bugs.
45 * Revision 1.1 1999/05/15 10:33:53 mdw
46 * Add simplified locking code.
