I gave these a closer look, and I still feel that they are both
straightforward and reasonable. IIUC the main open question is whether
this might cause problems for other PM signal kinds. Like you, I don't see
anything immediately obvious there, but I'll admit I'm not terribly
familiar with the precise characteristics of postmaster signals. In any
case, 0001 feels pretty safe to me.
