Summary: Fails assertion in winsig.c under VC 8.0

Initial Comment:
In 2.4 and current cvs initsignal in signalmodule.c calls 
PyOS_getsig which calls signal with an invalid signal 
number. Under VC 7.1 (and 7.0, and probably before) 
this would return SIG_ERR however under VC 8.0 (beta) 
this causes an assertion failure.

Ew.  My first thought is, is that allowed by ANSI C?  I'd guess it's 
undefined behaviour.  It still seems excessively unfriendly -- have you 
reported this to MS?
