Or somewhere or other it's going through a cast to unsigned short, but
that doesn't seem all that likely in the signal code, particularly POSIX
style on a 32- or 64-bit architecture.

If it's Solaris *and* Linux it seems unlikely the status itself is
doing anything funny, though, and that's passed back as int *...
