+I would rather have some way of testing for this than mkaing the
+change on every distribution.  
+
+This patch only turns the problem into a potentially different problem.
+
+What we probably need to have is a way of "probing" if these signals
+are being used, something like this:
+
+handler = -1;
+for (int i = SIGRTMIN; i < SIGRTMAX; i++){
+    sigaction (i, NULL, &old);
+    if (old.sa_handler == NOT_SET){
+       handler = i; break; 
+    }
+}
+
+Now, the above only works if signals have been preset before Mono has
+been invoked.  Am not sure if there is a reliable way of coping with
+this problem
