[PATCH] Clarify the default handling of signals

[Eli Zaretskii <eliz at is dot elta dot co dot il>]

FYI: I've just committed the patch below, to clarify how the signals are 
handled by default.  (The previous text made it sound as if non-fatal 
signals were set to `ignore', i.e. `nopass', which is not true.)

	handling.

 or to give it any signal at any time.  For example, if your program stopped
