All POSIX signals are "handled" - you can pass any of them to raise()
and your signal handler will get called.  The question is, how many of
them are *called* when POSIX says they should be?  I think the
register dump is part of the default signal handler, so whenever you
see it dump and say "due to signal SIGXXX", you could have added a
signal handler for that.

Charles would know better, though.  He wrote most of that code.
