After months (years?) without a problem, I've come across this little
weirdo in rc.
It would seem that rc is having problems generating the argument list
for an exec in the signal handler. I first noticed this problem while
trying to exec /bin/kill -TERM $apids from a sigint handler, as I got
nothing but usage and <junk>: No such file or directory errors. I've
reproduced it with /bin/echo (below).
This happens on Alphas running v2.0 and v3.2 OSF/1.
Someone please tell me I've done something really dumb. Be charitable
and blame it on working too hard.
Alan
; cat sigint.rc
/bin/echo foo
sleep 10 &
fn sigint { /bin/echo foo }
sleep 10
; rc -x sigint.rc # and hit control-c
/bin/echo foo
foo
sleep 10
fn sigint {/bin/echo foo}
sleep 10
/bin/echo foo
`}: No such file or directory

I can reproduce this problem with 1.4 on OSF/3.0, but I can't do it with
the latest "release" (1.5-betadev).
Again I apologize for utterly failing to update rc from 1.4. Moving into
the real world from a university was more difficult than I imagined, for
many reasons.
If someone wants to volunteer to take over maintenance, I can help with
the transition. Otherwise you'll have to wait..
Byron.
