The SVR4 ABI MIPS supplementary document specifies the signals to be
delivered for various traps.  I don't know if anyone modified our code
to follw that guide, but I agree with your conclusion, but would like
to point out that SVR4 ABI compatibility might be an issue.  I'll dig
my copy of that document and report back here.
