sigaction is broken in the new glibc2.1. I know this kind of error
because I had to track it down. I don't know how it happened but it
seems that the sparc-sigaction patch didn't apply correctly. Although
there wasn't an error sigaction returns -1. That's why you see
Error: Success
Steve, could you check what's the problem with the sigaction patch ?

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
