Nonterminating signals do not result in the termination of the process by default.
Nonterminating signals represent events that can be either internal or external to the process. The process may require notification or ignore these events. When a nonterminating asynchronous signal is delivered to the process, DCE Threads awakens any threads that are waiting for the signal. This is the only action that DCE Threads takes because, by default, the signal has no effect.
