Thanks! Unfortunately, this drawback is enough to kill the patch. There are users on FreeBSD and MacOSX that need a working Barry. What is the main problem that this patch is trying to solve? Are there cases where the signals are not caught? I think I've seen this myself a few times, and didn't know what was happening.
