sighandler restoration under 5.6.x

Another perl 5.6.x question:

According to
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/guide-filter?page=debug/Debugging_Signal_Handlers_SIG_.html;query=ALRM;match=and;where=all;stem=no
Perl does not restore the original Apache C handler when you use the local
$SIG{FOO} clause under mod_perl (mod_perl provides an internal workaround
for SIGALRM).

According to one of the old emails from Doug, this should have been fixed
in 5.6.x. I read the perldelta page and didn't see this issue mentioned.
Have I missed it? (the page was so long...)

Thanks!
