29  * XXX: the following check is used to set the status code only on RECEIVE.
30  * SENDREC is not currently atomic for user processes. A process can return
31  * from SENDREC in a different context than the original when a Posix signal
32  * handler gets executed. For this reason, it is not safe to manipulate
33  * the context (i.e. registers) when a process is blocked on a SENDREC.
34  * Unfortunately, avoiding setting the status code for SENDREC doesn't solve
35  * the problem entirely because in rare situations it is still necessary to
36  * override retreg dynamically (and possibly in a different context).
37  * A possible reliable solution is to improve our Posix signal handling
38  * implementation and guarantee SENDREC atomicity w.r.t. the process context.
