There is a BIG issue with signals in this release. A lot of signal
related tests fail, with memory corruption:
test basic begins at 2013-09-14+00:47:47
corrupted data:region=0xfffffd7ffb590eb0:block=0xfffffd7ffb49c890:bad
byte at=904:
basic.sh[320]: ALRM signal not working
test basic failed at 2013-09-14+00:48:46 with exit code 1 [ 109 tests 1 error ]
test basic(shcomp) begins at 2013-09-14+00:48:46
corrupted data:region=0xfffffd7ffb590eb0:block=0xfffffd7ffb49c890:bad
byte at=904:
shcomp-basic.ksh[320]: ALRM signal not working
test basic(shcomp) failed at 2013-09-14+00:49:46 with exit code 1 [
109 tests 1 error ]

P.S.: I dislike the idea of renaming .sh.sig.int to .sh.sig.q. Its a
torture for people. Could you not just accept .sh.sig.int and
.sh.sig.objref, or stick with .sh.sig.int and.sh.sig.ptr? The name
"ptr" is used even by perl and python.
