John,
Forget about my last message, here is the fix. This was stupid, I don't
know how I missed this. I must have changed the signal disposition at
the last minute without testing it. I apologize for any problems that
this caused. This fix (and a similar one for idle_idled.c) is in CVS
and will be in the next release.
