Bug #3969: irb causes NameError when trapping SIGWINCH with string

Trapping SIGWINCH with a proc works.

 $ irb -f
 
 irb(main):001:0> Signal.trap('SIGWINCH', proc { puts 'hola! from proc' })
 => nil
 irb(main):002:0> hola! from proc # changing size of terminal window via GUI
 irb(main):002:0> hola! from proc
 irb(main):002:0> hola! from proc
 irb(main):002:0> hola! from proc
 puts
 
 => nil
 irb(main):003:0> 


But trapping SIGWINCH with a string (method name) causes error.

 $ irb -f

 irb(main):001:0> def hola; puts 'hola! from named method'; end
 => nil
 irb(main):002:0> Signal.trap('SIGWINCH', 'hola')
 => nil
 irb(main):003:0> hola! from named method # changing size of terminal window via GUI
 irb(main):003:0> hola! from named method
 irb(main):003:0> hola! from named method
 irb(main):003:0> hola! from named method
 puts
