 Hmm...when I did it I didn't have that problem..

 GOD was this a pain..it took forever; I sarted to write my own dup2()
(I was *so* pissed that it was in the manual but not installed), then I
finally came upon the define.

 I had to convert this to something like:

	oldsig = signal(SIG_WHATEVERITWAS,newsig)

 Then when sigrestore() was called, I just set it back to OLDSIG; seems
to have worked.

 Yep...type the stuff in from The C Programming Language's Unix section
(at least that's what I did).
 When I go to work tomorrow I'll go get the sources that I mod'd and
send 'em to you so you can see what's different. (For the readers of
comp.lang.c, this is one of the big reasons I started to hate the 3b1..)
