This is an issue with various implementions of POSIX Threads that need to perform signal handling. A good explanation is at (Q 10): http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mueller/pthreads/threads-faq.html Basically, one master thread catches all the signals and forwards them using some mechanism other than sending another SIG. Having said all this I don't readily know how to do this.. but I'll look into it. -- Jay Oliveri "In the land of the blind, GnuPG ID: 0x5AA5DD54 the one-eyed man is king." _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
