Thanks, and sorry if I was a bit too fierce.  This is not the first nit
we've run into with the more conservative signal protections, which is why
there's a sysctl to disable them in the first place.  However, I think
they contribute usefully to security, so I'd rather augment them to be a
bit more context-aware and permit what's necessary, while avoiding more
sweeping granting of permission.
