Agreed.

Surely this fix is completely wrong? You'd have to touch every use of
signum() to do it like that. You'd also be introducing similarly-
undefined behavior at the other end of the loop, where this coding
would be asking to compute 1<<31, hence shifting into the sign bit,
which is undefined unless you make the computation explicitly unsigned.
I think better is just to change the for-loop to iterate from 1 not 0.
Signal 0 is invalid anyway, and is rejected in pg_queue_signal for
example, so there can't be any event waiting there.
