fatal-signal improvement

[Bruno Haible]

This commit makes it possible for an application to install a handler for a
fatal signal (e.g. SIGPIPE) and use the 'fatal-signal' module nevertheless.


2008-08-31  Bruno Haible  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        Don't override previously installed signal handlers.
        * lib/fatal-signal.c (saved_sigactions): New variable.
        (uninstall_handlers): Reset the signal to the saved handler, not
        to SIG_DFL (except when ignored).
        (install_handlers): Save the previous handlers.
