Note that minimal.c is intended to work with all sorts of wimpy C libraries: uClibc, klibc, newlib Many of these libraries lack sysctl().

Eeew. The BSDisms in glibc never fail to sicken me. I've noticed that signal() is broken (it should map to the Linux system call, which correctly follows the 7th Edition and SysV behavior of unsetting the signal handler when it is called). Also, fputs() does not have the correct SysV return value. I sure wish the glibc hackers would realize that, if I wanted BSD, I would not be running Linux! > > SIGPWR is not Linux-specific.

Hopefully, the default action matches that of SIGPWR. If so, then just call that SIGPWR. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
