Unix signals (specifically sig32)

I'm writing a web proxy (homework assignment). When I'm debugging with gdb, I see SIG32's being caught:
Program received signal SIG32, Real-time event 32?

....but the program does seem to work fine. What does sig32 mean, and what can cause it? I did try some googling a bit without much benefit 🙁.
 
Signals are used in UNIX to send information to a process or to handle an exception. You can manully send signals to a process using to kill command. the defualt if you do no enter a signal number is 15..which is SIGTERM, basically kills the process.......some keystrokes are mapped to a signal...i.e, control c ........ Signal 32 happens to be SIGDIL.... I have no idea what it the DIL signal is supposed to do or what it indicated.... The above was read from a book concerned with HP-UX 11i implmentation of UNIX but all other flavors of UNIX (Solaris,AIX,Tru-64 ).... should be the similar.
