-Some bits about this, some bits about that.
-
-# Controlling TTY
-
-Hurd controlling tty behavior is generally consistent with BSD's, including
-`TIOCSCTTY`. Linux also has `TIOCSCTTY` and it is harmless to use it there.
-But BSD and Hurd never do an implicit `TIOCSCTTY` (hence our `O_NOCTTY` is
-zero).
-
-C.f. <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2009-10/msg00030.html> and the
-following messages.
-
-# Sinals
-
-[[Unix]] signals are implemented in glibc.
-
-In every process, signals are handled in a separate signal thread.
-
- [Why does kill hang sometimes?]
- <youpi> kill send the signal to the process
- <youpi> if the process is hung, killing waits
- <youpi> signals should be just asynchronous, but apparently for some reason
- Roland & co wanted some syunchronization
