There's one known _bug_ with rc-1.4, and that's in its signal
handling.  Byron and I have tossed this back and forth several
times; as far as I know, he hasn't fixed it, and I know I haven't.
(Note that this bug was NOT present in pre-release versions of
1.4; it was in 1.3, I reported it to Byron and he fixed it, and
then he broke it again in the 1.4 release version.)

The bug is that rc doesn't wait correctly for backquoted commands
to complete on signals, so that if you have a backquoted command
running which traps interrupts and you type your interrupt
character, you end up with a mess.

OK,
John.
