Look at SIG_DFL, sigaction, and raise. Also, are you tracking the number of times you are in the function? After so many attempts, you should just bail completely, do a full shutdown and try to recover corrupt pfiles. If you want, I can send you my halt_mud function for you to look at. I got it from a signal handler snippet I saw years ago, and has been slightly modified to do copyovers, and gdb core analysis. Jef
