[pacman-dev] [PATCH 1/2] pacman: set SA_RESTART for signal handler

[Andrew Gregory]

Calling a signal handler interrupts some functions, most notably read() and
therefore fgets().  This was less of an issue in the past because signals
generally resulted in the termination of the program, the recently added
SIGWINCH handler does not.

For an easy and safe way to see the problem fixed by this and the next patch
resize the terminal while pacman is waiting for a user response.
