As explained when I first raised this question on gnu.bash.bug, the problem is that sysklogd sends an interrupt signal to it's parent. Bash used to just ignore this, now it prints a warning message. sysklogd should be told not to do this. You can ignore the message. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org . Trouble? e-mail to Bruce@Pixar.com
