Just to finish off this train of thought:  I'm sure Bart remembers this,
but it's worth reminding home viewers that if TRAPINT returns status
0, which it usually will with then kill last, then the job controller assumes
the signal was already handled, so doesn't take any action to pass the
signal on to the job itself.  If I add "return 1" to the end of
TRAPINT() I only ever see the output once before the job ends.

I think I've now lost interest in this...
