[I reported this before, but it hasn't been fixed.]
These two hooks are documented like this:
signal-USR1-hook's value is nil
Documentation:
Hook to be run whenever emacs receives a USR1 signal
but they aren't run on those signals. The signals just generate
events like `[usr1-signal]'. I don't know what is actually intended.
It is useful to be able to send such signals -- for instance to invoke
`top-level' to escape from the fairly frequent cases of
otherwise-uninterruptible loops in network processes running for Gnus
& al -- so it's probably worth documenting in the manual whatever the
behaviour is supposed to be.
