strace and sigprocmask

Running on Windows 8.1, with 32-bit Cygwin v1.7.29.
I've taken straces of a problematic area of xemacs, tidied them, and
am trying to locate significant differences.
I'm seeing something I don't understand, which isn't causing a crash
so probably isn't significant, but I'd like to understand it better.
strace 1 has:
[main] PID1 sigprocmask: 0 = sigprocmask(2647444, 0xNULL, 0xNULL)
where strace 2 has:
[main] PID1 sigprocmask: 0 = sigprocmask(2649272, 0xNULL, 0xADDR)
Similar lines appear frequently in both straces.
Either I don't understand strace output, or this is bizarre -- the
first arg to sigprocmask should always be 0, 1 or 2, right?
I'd welcome any help in understanding how I should be reading this,
and more generally, how I could have found the answer to my question
myself.
Thanks,
ht
