Why is it that signals often go off randomly?  For example, assume that
a replyport is set up to receive replies from a device driver when an 
operation is complete.

	wakeupmask = wait(1L<<request.whatever...mp_sigbit);

Why should I have to do a CheckIO() to make sure the operation is complete?
shouldn't the signal bit in wakeupmask be enough?
