It looks like I am having a problem with spawnve().  Compiling
the AT&T ksh93 to use spawn instead of fork/exec improves performance,
but unfortunately Cygwin's spawnve() implementation appears to
reset signal handlers to default values in the new process.

This can cause shell script malfunctions -- signals that should
be ignored instead cause process termination.

Am I correct?

Any chance of changing this behavior so SIG_DFL and SIG_IGN are inherited?
