Because it expects to inherit a halfway-sane mask from the spawning process? :) Signals may also be blocked on purpose (Although I admit I can't think of a reason to block ALRM when running an exim listener). Regardless of such a fix in Exim, I still think something is wrong with the host system. /tom -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
