Excellent.  Thanks.  That means that the problem is elsewhere.  I
think I'm narrowing down the semantics.  I'm down to the problem with
setting the socket attribute to the signal as instead of a file.  I
read about it somewhere but I don't see the constant nearby in the
header file for sigaction flags.
