    This broke /bin/sh which was using the sys_siglist API but sizing the 
    array based on NSIG instead of sys_nsig, and assuming that the entries
    would not be NULL in a few places.  Otherwise, though, it should not
    generally break binaries because the signal mask structures in
    sys/signal.h are based on _SIG_MAXSIG rather then NSIG.  _SIG_MAXSIG is
    and has been 128.
