It could well be a >problem with ash's use of vfork, too. AFAICT, this is an ash problem. ash was clearing it's trap list after a program executed due to its thinking that it was in a forked process rather than a vforked process where such an activity would clear the parent. So, none of the cleanup was done. I checked in a couple of changes to rectify this. Corinna, could you release an experimental version of ash and see if it solves everyone's problems? cgf
