And part of the portability warnings in autoconf.texi. Hmm. I tested some more, only to add to the confusion. Apparently pdksh does not (always?) execute the EXIT handler when it exits from a signal (!=0) handler, so that seems very unreliable. For now I have only applied the aclocal.in fix which was uncontroversial, to master and branch-1-10. Cheers, Ralf
