I think he isn't, Mach Exceptions are just another aproach of signals,
they were used on Mach_US and Lites to implement Unix-compatible

process but also threads, so, this is a very fundamental difference.
I also dunno why Mach

I don't really know how to answer your message, since it wasn't quite clear
what the question was. Were you suggesting that Hurd signals should work
by sending exception_raise messages to task or thread exception ports?

This is also possible. The Mach kernel interfaces docs are
a bit thin on the subject. Could you enlighten me?
Thanks.
