 Are you running our tftpd under Linux?  Or is that just the send-pr
 environment?

 The patch below has a couple of problems:

 sigdelset() to delete a signal from an already empty set is a NOP.
 It might as well be:
 	error = sigemptyset(&sigset);
 	error |= sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &sigset, NULL);
 There is also a problem.. if sigemptyset() returned an error, sigset would
 have undefined contents. And yet you call sigprocmask() anyway.
 
 I think a more correct fix would be to use sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp()
 to save/restore the mask..  However, according to the man pages, that
 shouldn't be necessary:
 
      The setjmp()/longjmp() pairs save and restore the signal mask while
      _setjmp()/_longjmp() pairs save and restore only the register set and the
      stack.  (See sigprocmask(2).)
 
      The sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp() function pairs save and restore the signal
      mask if the argument savemask is non-zero, otherwise only the register
      set and the stack are saved.
 
 Cheers,
 -Peter
