I commented on that topic in another mail: it won't work because sendsig
is only reached when the signal is unmasked and catched (ie: a signal
handler is installed).

Darwin's softsignal facility turns any unmasked signal into a Mach
exception, regardless if it a signal handler is installed or not for
this signal.
