           ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (IEEE Std 1003.1-1990), paragraph B.3.3.1.1 sez:

           ``The signals SIGBUS, SIGEMT, SIGIOT, SIGTRAP, and SIGSYS
           were omitted from POSIX.1 because their behavior is
           implementation dependent and could not be adequately catego-
           rized.  Conforming implementations may deliver these sig-
           nals, but must document the circumstances under which they
           are delivered and note any restrictions concerning their
           delivery.''

           So we only check for SIGSYS on those systems that happen to
           implement them (a system can be POSIX-compliant and implement
           them, it's just that POSIX doesn't *require* a POSIX-compliant
           system to implement them).
