>Description:

The "Description" says "The signal SIGQUIT may also be set to be
ignored."  This could mean
1) "the user may set it..." (if so, it should say how);
2) "the signal MIGHT be ignored, but we don't know";
3) "the signal is currently ignored but that might change"
(which is the same as "2" as far as the user is concerned).

I.e., it is unclear what it means.

>Fix:

Determine how the program behaves and rewrite the sentence.

State-Changed-Why:  

This has been fixed in -CURRENT and -STABLE with my last commit to 
nohup(1) which removes the ability to ignore SIGQUIT.  The change  
also makes nohup(1) more standards compliant.
