Hi again Chris,

Before a few minutes, I started the pdksh Shell the first time with
the new snapshot. This shows another interesting behaviour. _Every_
time, I start a process from command line, it does it work, then there is
a long pause as in tcsh, and then the following message appears, before
the shell prompt reappears:

****** exceptions.cc:401 __get_signal_mutex failed, res 258, error 2
  0) function exceptions.cc, line 364

This is the message from sigproc.cc(__get_signal_mutex),

	...
	else if (howlong >= 1000)
		small_printf(...)

which didn't exist in the last snapshot. I'm sure, the previously
described problem in tcsh has the same reason.

I hoped to find the solution myself, but for today, I didn't understand
enough of the underlying code. I'm too tired.

Good Night,
Corinna
