Section --> None in P1003.1c D10, corresponding section in p1003.1b is:

            Section 6.7.1.1

The behavior is specified when a sigevent structure of type SIGEV_NONE or 
type SIGEV_SIGNAL is passed.

POSIX.1c does not specify what the behavior is if the sigevent structure 
specifies SIGEV_THREAD.

The behavior needs to be specified. According to the current definitions,
these functions are not required to support SIGEV_THREAD, even if 
POSIX_THREADS is defined. They define SIGEV_SIGNAL AND SIGEV_NONE, but
not SIGEV_THREAD.


Interpretation response
------------------------
This is a duplicate.  See PASC P1003.1c Interpretation #3, part 13

Rationale
-------------
None.
