Yep.  The existing test passes on s390 GNU/Linux:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-testers/2004-q3/msg00068.html
and my local PPC NetBSD machine.  Both have h/w single-step.  See 
breakpoints/1702.

You appear to have found a new bug.  Given all the potential 
combinations of step / next / continue VS breakpoint at/in handler VS 
handle its self, we may want to split this out of signals.exp and into a 
new expanded test file.  Either way, a new test is needed.

BTW, does sigbpt.exp pass?  It's testing a related stepi edge case.

Michael, those KFAILs are not correct.
