Subject: Signal weirdness
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 1994 15:17:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9403141517.aa11662@ceres.srg.af.mil> (raw)

I just got a nasty suprise with signal handlers.  While trying to test:

	fn sigwinch {eval `{/usr/bin/X11/resize}}

I discovered that rc (1.5beta1 with GNU readline linked in, under SunOs
(4.1.3) and SCO-ODT (1.1 and 3.0)) dies after running the handler for a
signal that isn't ignored.  For example setting the following:

	fn sighup {echo 'got sighup';sleep 10}

and then sending the shell a sighup (kill -1 11532) from another window
causes it to print the message, wait, and the shell to exit.  If the
signal handler ends with a return command you get an error message but
the shell doesn't die.

This is really ugly, anyone have a clue?  I'd test this without readline
and even dig through code if work wasn't so piled up on my desk.  Maybe
in a week or so.  In the mean time, can anyone else verify this?

Tom
