Possibly it's not being checked at all by Python, but
is being rejected by the system call. The Darwin man
page says this about signal(3) in the ERRORS section:

      [EINVAL]           An attempt is made to ignore or supply a handler for
                         SIGKILL or SIGSTOP.

Not sure why it gets reported as a RuntimeError rather
than an OSError, though.
