Stevens' APUE (if you do any Unix programming and you don't have this
book, run don't walk and get it ;-) ) says: "POSIX.1 does not specify
the order in which signals are delivered to a process. The Rationale for
POSIX.1 does suggest, however, that signals related to the current state
of the process, such as SIGSEGV, be delivered before other signals."
AFAIK we are not using any of the signals he is referring to in the
second sentence, so FIFO should be fine.
