Sergey,
If I run the code below on a variety of UNIX systems and tell you how it
works, will that answer your question?

#include <signal.h>
main()
{
    sigset_t nada = 0L;
    if (fork() == 0) {
	sleep(2);
	exit(0);
    }

    sigsuspend(&nada);
    puts("returned");
    exit(0);
}

FYI, I ran this on one system here (Digital UNIX 3.2C) and it blocked
forever.  If this isn't quite right, then, if it is possible, could you
modify this (or throw it away and start from scratch) to show the answer
to your question?

Thanks for all of your efforts.
