I kept getting a 'sig access error' which told me lots. :] Instead of bash, I am now using tcsh, which i was able to ftp the binaries for from tesla.ee.cornell.edu, or (so I am told) from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu, or possibly cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu. I forget which of the two sites is supposed to have it available. I'm very happy with tcsh, and after doing mcs -d tcsh, it wieghs in at around 230k or so. which is comparable with bash.
