Prior to this commit, top has always taken the easiest (safest?) approach when dealing with those troublesome SIGWINCH interrupts. Whenever the user was on a screen other than the main display, any signal received would force an immediate exit, returning to the main screen. With these changes, top will retain the user's current position regardless of what screen he/she was viewing. In support the following additional changes were made: * the initial help screen requires an explicit end key ` not 'any other key' formerly used to request an exit * the colors mapping screen instructions were improved * ^Z response was made immediate, eliminating the flag * the sigaction's SA_RESTART flag had to be eliminated * sigprocmask logic was normailize to the bare minimum * the POSIX.1-2004 async-signal safe functions used in ` the signal handlers were acknowledged and documented (everything is perfectly justified plus right margins) (are completely filled, but of course it must be luck) Reference(s): http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/unwanted-topinspect-window-enclosure-with-the-terminal-size-change Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
