Yes; BSD introduced restartable systemcalls around 1985 or so; if the system call was interrupted by a signal, rather than simply returning EINTR, it would try to restart the system call for the process.

It is well worth its cost. -- The Bill of Rights: 7 out of 10 rights haven't been sold yet! Contact your congressman for details how *you* can buy one today!
