Description:
------------
somewhere between 7.0.21 and 7.2.1 , pcntl_signal failing by trying to install a handler for SIGKILL was promoted from a catchable E_??  to a fatal error, and it's not documented. and imo, it's not an improvement (yes, it's an error and it should be reported, but it shouldn't be a _fatal_ error)

and LawnGnome@freenode #php  said: 
<LawnGnome> (...) It appears to have been due to ZEND_SIGNALS being flipped to on by default in PHP 7.1.0, which changed the codepath that installs the signal handler to one that fatals on error instead of warning. (The reason for that in general was to support asynchronous signal handling.)
<LawnGnome> I'd suggest opening a bug at https://bugs.php.net/ — I don't know if the fix will be to change the behaviour of the signal handler installation or to update the docs, but obviously one or the other needs to happen.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
@pcntl_signal ( SIGKILL, "printf" );
echo "not fatal!";

Expected result:
----------------
not fatal!

Actual result:
--------------
(blank)

Just letting you know it's happening also on version 7.1:

And I'm not able to install SIGSTOP handler:

// pcntl_signal(SIGSTOP, 'handleSignal');
Fatal error: Error installing signal handler for 19 in ...
