Oh no. I haven't posted the patch for the signal handling
here (only to you Eli), because it does not fix the
limitation that it is not possible debug programs
which generate and handle signals.

To clearify it: My patch was only made, because GDB
does not kill the program, when it it gets an signal
(except SIGTRAP). My patch was only ty tell GDB
(and then of course in RHIDE/RHGDB) to kill the
debugged program and not handling that signal.

The support for handling signals needs changes of
dgbcom.c (there they are disabled completetly becuase
of hooking the 'set_processor_exception' call).

And to Douglas in answering to you other mail here eplicit:

It is NOT possible (currently), to debug programs, which
uses signals. And I have not the time (and probably also
not the knowlage about all the signal stuff) to fix that
in DJGPP.

This would be great. Until now I had to store all these
mails here for me locally (and I have a 50MB limit).
