I cannot say anything about Linux since I do not have Linux environment
at hand. The difference between Solaris 1 and 2 , however, is as follows.
I hope this may help you solve the problem.
Solaris1 (BSD) manages interrupt signals during longjump() differenctly
from Solaris2 (SYSV). More specifically, Solaris1-setjmp stores
interrupt context, while Solaris2-setjmp does not. Please refer to the
manual page of setjmp(2 or 3c), and check the semantics of setjmp().
If Linux setjmp() does not save the interrupt contect, I guess that bash-2.0
readline library is worth trying.
