Hi All

Given below are the defect descriptions for the signal usage of SIGVTALRM in
Ruby 1.9 implementation.

Defect Description:
In file trunk/thread_pthread.c, at line no: 153
In the "Init_native_thread" function, posix_signal function is called with
SIGVTALRM value setting an empty function as signal handler. The
"Init_native_thread" function is indirectly called from ruby_init(). As per
our understanding, SIGVTALRM is no longer a reserved signal in Ruby
1.9implementation and therefore no signal handler should be installed
for it.

Regards
Chirag
