I'm not sure that interpretation is correct. I think that trace shows signal()
being called from sysinit().

On V6, signal() was a system call which one could use to set the handlers for
signals (or set them to be ignored, or back to the default action). In. 2.11
it seems to be a shim layer which provides the same interface, but uses
the Berserkly signal system interface underneath:

  https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=2.11BSD/include/signal.h
  https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=2.11BSD/man/cat3/signal.0

So maybe the old binary for kermit is still trying to use the (perhaps
now-removed) signal system call?

I'm running 211bsd pl 431 in SimH on FreeBSD. I've got networking 
working on a tap interface both inbound and outbound. I still have a few 
issues hanging around that are bugging me, but I'll eventually get to 
them. One that is of concern at the moment is kermit. It is in the 
system under /usr/new/kermit. When I call it, I get:

kermit
Bad system call - core dumped

I don't see core anywhere and if I did, I'd need to figure out what to 
do with it anyway (mabye adb), but I'm wondering if anyone's used kermit 
successfully who is on pl 431 or knows what's going on?

Thanks,

Will
