[PATCH] sigaction should clear all signals on SIG_IGN, not just < 32

While rooting aroung in the signal code trying to understand how to
fix the SIG_IGN	ploy (set sig handler to SIG_IGN and flood system with
high speed repeating timers) I came across what, I think, is a problem
in sigaction() in that when processing a SIG_IGN request it flushes
signals from 1 to SIGRTMIN and leaves the rest.  The attached patch is
an attempt to fix this.

Type: Defect Fix 
Description:
It appeares that the sigaction system call, when processing a SIG_IGN or
a SIG_DFL, is removing only signals that appear in the first mask word.
