new signals?

[Glenn Becker <glenn@icarus.usanetworks.com>]

Hi All,

I am working my way through some tutorial materials on the Unix/Linux
environment, and happened to type 

kill -l

in bash. I got a list of SIGs that was -- I believe -- significantly
different from and longer than the list I saw the *last* time I did
this. Specifically, there are a whole lot of new signals called SIGRTMAX
and SIGRTMIN (each one has a + or - value attached to it, up to a value of
+ or - 15 ...). I don't recall these being there before. A new bash
feature?

I can't find any mention of these in the list archive nor in my default
text ... can anyone shed light on these? 

Thx,

Glenn
