I'd not get too hung up on this one.  The current frame-unwind code 
sniff heuristic came about because it ``worked for me''.   We're going 
to have to eventually replace it with something more complicated and 
until then, what ever.

Sniffing a signal frame definitly takes higher priority than sniffing a 
normal frame.
