We have used VMS condition handlers in a real-time Fortran multiprocess
application with reasonable success, under both 3.6 and 4.2.  One problem
under 4.2: make sure the condition handler and the module that declare it are
compiled /NOOPTIMIZE or the compiler will notice that the handler is never
called explicity and will optimize it out of the program.  Really!
