Re: GNU make 3.80 rc1

Paul -

    Sorry about not replying sooner.  I as afraid this would happen
    actually, but didn't manage to do anything about it.  My wife and
    I have just moved across the country (US) and I've been on the road
    all week and chaotic on both ends - even now we're still unpacking
    in the new place.  I just barely have connectivity right now.

    However, I'm very interested in any little C programs you have to
    demonstrate proper sigaction() functionality.  I *did* try rc1 live on
    PTX, unmodified and modified with my patches and it very much does not
    work unpatched - I am not guessing or assuming anything abut the code.
    I'm *very* interested in getting a fix for this into the offical source
    so I'm willing to do whatever I can to help track down this problem -
    I may, as a last resort, be able to even get you a login here.

    My money is on PTX not working correctly - over the years, that's
    been the safe bet. ;-)
