Bug#227267: whizzytex: viewer process dies

[Junichi Uekawa <dancer@netfort.gr.jp>]

reassign 227267 advi
severity 227267 grave
thanks


Hi,
advi 1.4.0-4 didn't exhibit this behavior, but 
1.4.0-6 seems to have problems with whizzytex interaction.

Is it dying with signal 1?

I've got a feeling that /usr/bin/advi has silently 
become a shell script, and it's not accepting
signal 1 to advi.

Please handle signal 1 so that advi.bin receives the
signal, or provide a feasible interface to advi.

IMHO, providing zadvi or something similar instead of 
hacking advi to be a shell script itself would have been better...
