gripes about error reporting

Well, there are a few other things that also generate fairly standard
signals, and which are not strictly pdp-11 problems.  I am in general
avoiding the old pdp names for them:
	HANG_UP		loss of carrier
	USER_INT	^C (or whatever)
	CORE_DMP	^\ (or whatever)
	PLEASE_DIE	kill proc
	DIE_YGS_PIG	kill -9 proc (YGS --> you gravy sucking)
	TIME_OUT	alarm() can cause this

I admit that most of these aren't hardware faults, but they certainly
are signals that need to be included in most every eunuchs
implementation.
