DosSetSigHandler API Not Behaving as Expected in OS/2 Subsystem (154963)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q154963

SYMPTOMS

The DosSetSigHandler API does not behave as it should in the Windows NT OS/2 SubSystem when called with a NULL Handler and SIGA_IGNORE, as in the following example:

DosSetSigHandler(NULL,..,SIGA_IGNORE)

CAUSE

In the OS/2 Subsystem a macro was generating an incorrect address in the case where a null handler value was passed in as a parameter.

RESOLUTION

Apply the fix mentioned below. The solution was to recognize the null value and flag the IGNORE parameter. This is the expected behavior for DosSetSigHandler handling in this case.

STATUS

This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
