The declaration of begsig in include/lib.h doesn't match the declaration
in lib/ibm/catchsig.s. This causes anything that calls signal(2) (eg
sh more etc) to core dump.

I removed the * from

    EXTERN _PROTOTYPE( void (*begsig), (int dummy) )

in /usr/include/lib.h and recompiled everything in sight.
