I'm surprised that the byte is zero, rather than being the signal number. 
This would reflect the way C-level signal handlers work, where they are I 
believe called with the signal number.  Is any discussion of this point 
conveniently available online?  I ask for my own understanding, and 
definitely not out of a desire to re-open any settled issues!
