           Summary: Potential infinite recursion in signal handling
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: xzilla at achurch.org


xf86SignalHandler (hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c) resets the signal handler
before setting the flag indicating a signal has been caught, theoretically
allowing the possibility of infinite recursion--though admittedly I can't think
of a real-life case where this would happen.  Attaching a patch anyway just to
clean up the logic.
