Summary0000785: Left-over text about signal() in a multi-threaded process
DescriptionAccording to XSH 2.9.1 Thread-Safety, signal() is thread-safe, and
the signal() page says:

    "If the process is multi-threaded, [...] the behavior is undefined
    if the signal handler [does various things]."

which implies that the behaviour is well defined if the signal handler
does not do those things. However, the reference to multi-threaded
processes here was added in TC1 and it appears that the need to remove
the 2nd paragraph ("Use of this function is unspecified in a
multi-threaded process") at the same time was overlooked.
Desired ActionDelete the paragraph:

    Use of this function is unspecified in a multi-threaded process.
