This involves ICT, Install Completion Tasks, in general. There is a fix to ksh mkmenu and a workaround to Python ict.py. mkmenu will now only examine the first block. Also, it was discovered that the SIGPIPE was being ignored by the UNIX subprocess running mkmenu. This SIGPIPE from head -1 closing the pipe should normally end the script. According to Python issue 1652, UNIX scripts in subprocesses will ignore SIGPIPE. The workaround is to save the original signal handler for SIGPIPE before launching the script, then restoring the original signal handler after the script has completed.
