I think we might as well do that _too_.

However, once you use "sigaction()", you don't need to re-arm the signal 
handler any more, so I'd suggest a simpler patch like this instead..

Junio, I think this confirms/explains the Solaris breakage.

I'll re-send the "anal stdio semantics" version of the patch on top of 
this in the next email.

Subject: Fix Solaris stdio signal handling stupidities

This uses sigaction() to install the SIGALRM handler with SA_RESTART, so
that Solaris stdio doesn't break completely when a signal interrupts a
read.

Thanks to Jason Riedy for confirming the silly Solaris signal behaviour.
