    Problem Text
    The test may fail if the IUT ignores bsd_signal(SIGKILL, SIG_DFL)
    calls.

    Test 12 fails because the call to bsd_signal(SIGKILL, SIG_DFL)
    succeeds when the test is expecting an EINVAL error. We
    believe the spec does not mandate an EINVAL error in this case.

    The bsd_signal spec refers one to the sigaction spec for a description
    of error handling. The sigaction spec states

    It is unspecified whether an attempt to set the action for a
    signal that cannot be caught or ignored to SIG_DFL is ignored or
    causes an error to be returned with errno set to [EINVAL].

    Our implementation ignores this behavior.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: bsd_signal

    TEST PURPOSE #12
    EINVAL in errno, return SIG_ERR, and not install a new
    signal handler on a call to void (*bsd_signal(int sig,
    void (*func)(int))) (int) when an attempt is made to
    catch a SIGKILL or SIGSTOP signal.
    TEST: bsd_signal(SIGKILL, ...) returns -1
    ERROR: bsd_signal returned 00000000
    12 FAIL
