Handling a signal at an application context that employs a remote kernel service

To handle a signal received at an application context that employs a remote kernel service implemented in a server context different from the application context, the remote kernel service receives from the application context a first signal. Using a signal action vector file associated with the server context, a first action code associated with the first signal is ascertained. If the first action code represents a pseudo-handler, the remote kernel service is aborted.
