I have a program which enables SIGCHLD (a command shell, to be exact).
The shell uses SIGCHLD to detect that a command has finished.  What is
happening is that last part of the output from each command is being
dropped. Is this what setting NOFLSH is intended to prevent, i.e. to
prevent output from being dropped on the floor on receipt of a signal?

Example:

	% ls
	....
	(last few lines lost but not always the same number)
	%

Thanks in advance.
