Okay, that's what I expected, aparently not used internally by any code... 
Note with "kill" any thread can process the signal, I wonder if it works in 
all cases...

That would be great since that will make Xastir run again out of the box on 
such systems. Taking out the "signal" call is already enough to make it 
work so I can patch it easly for now... It seems to work okay with this on 
my old 486 RedHat laptop.

Kind regards,

Henk.
