      The posix implementation of os::Posix::get_signal_number recognizes signal names in both short and long forms; for example "INT" and "SIGINT".

      The windows implementation does not and should.
      See os_windows.cpp::os::get_signal_number.

      The asymmetry makes the sun.misc.Signal API inconsistent across platforms.
