Summary	0000785: Left-over text about signal() in a multi-threaded process
Description	According to XSH 2.9.1 Thread-Safety, signal() is thread-safe, and the signal() page says: "If the process is multi-threaded, [...] the behavior is undefined if the signal handler [does various things]." which implies that the behaviour is well defined if the signal handler does not do those things. However, the reference to multi-threaded processes here was added in TC1 and it appears that the need to remove the 2nd paragraph ("Use of this function is unspecified in a multi-threaded process") at the same time was overlooked.
Desired Action	Delete the paragraph: Use of this function is unspecified in a multi-threaded process.
