Philip Olson 73b197ddde Add new optional parameter information (restart_syscalls). Added information
on new ability to object method signal calls.  Implemented &return.success;.
And added tick use to the example (required as of 4.3.0).  This essentially
closes bug .

<para>
The <function>pcntl_signal</function> function installs a new
signal handler for the signal indicated by
<parameter>signo</parameter>. The signal handler is set to
<parameter>handler</parameter> which may be the name of a user
created function, or either of the two global constants SIG_IGN
or SIG_DFL. The optional <parameter>restart_syscalls</parameter>
specifies whether system call restarting should be used when this
signal arrives and defaults to &true;.

<para>
&return.success;
</para>
<note>
<para>
The optional <parameter>restart_syscalls</parameter> parameter became
available in PHP 4.3.0.

<note>
<para>
The ability to use an object method as a callback became available in
PHP 4.3.0. Note that when you set a handler to an object method, that
object's reference count is increased which makes it persist until you
either change the handler to something else, or your script ends.
