That's not true: DJGPP (which is the only way to compile Emacs on DOS)
supports signals.  SIGSEGV certainly, but also SIGPROF and SIGALRM,
AFAIR.

The only relevant DOS extenders for Emacs are DPMI hosts, cwsdpmi
being the first and the most obvious candidate.  cwsdpmi supports
mprotect.

But we digress.
