Hi There !

I have a Question about signal handling of the OS-9/68k kernel.

Situation : 

        I have a filemanager which has executed a F$Sleep call (time=0).
	During that sleep a signal arrives for the sleeping process.

Question :
     
        Is it necessary to exit from the FM to ensure that the intercept-
        handler of the process is called.
	Or is the intercept handler called before the process returns from
	the F$Sleep (system state !), so that the FM can ignore the 
        unexpected return from the sleeping state :

              Loop: moveq.l #0,d0
                    os9 F$Sleep
                    bcs.s Loop    (E$NoClk is ignored for this example !)

Thanks in advance for your help !

Stephan
