Use sigaction() instead of signal(), the latter has a unavoidable
race-condition on "broken by backwards-compatibility" systems like Solaris.
(upon receiving a signal, the handler is reset to SIG_DFL, thus a
second signal will kill the process, the problem could also be reduced
by re-installing the handler inside the handler, but there's still a
race-condition and the risk of the handler being called inside the handler).

| 3 This library was designed and introduced as interface to userspace drivers | |
| 4 to provide DGA everywhere where it's possible (unline X11). | |
| 5 I hope that these drivers will be portable same as X11 (not only on *nix). | |
