 You are correct here now, but not at the time I have issued the original
 request. Values for SIGRTMIN, SIGRTMAX initially appeared only in
 version 1.47 (Oct 2005) and was incorrect. Revision 1.53 reduced
 SIGRTMAX from 128 to 126 exactly concerning this my PR. So, if we stick
 on treating 126 as maximal possible signal number which doesn't break
 existing ABI, all seems satisfied and I suggest simply to close it as
 fixed. No need to change any more.
