That's the most recent appearance.  Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I
had thought there were several "signal-handling" things that have
cropped up since January.  CTRL-Z not suspending windows apps, CTRL-C
not able to interrupt a process (regardless of whether its I/O was
redirected), ...

I haven't really paid too much attention to those threads, but that was
my recollection.  I have been known to be wrong, however. 
Occaisionally. :-)

Since Andy is the one who has actually observed the problems with both
1.1.8-2 and 1.3.1, perhaps he could clarify?  Andy? ...
