Re: Really dont like this WAS: signal 32
Ok, I upgraded corsica and calvin both to todays current packages. The
gibberish on the kill -32 is gone and all looks like it is the same on

I upgraded libc6 as well as bsdutils and a few other packages that should
not have messed with signals at all but anyhow, all is now okey dokey.
