In terms of specified behaviour, I refer you to POSIX: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/raise.html The Glibc manual is also in error. In terms of actual behaviour, I have observed this behaviour whilst developing a program which uses signals inter-thread communication. I am unable to supply a test case at this moment due to a hardware failure on my Linux system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
