I am running into some "clever" shell scripts that are using
trap "echo some thing ; exit " 1 2 3 9 15
and our trap handler interface rejects the 9 (reasonable enough)
with
Sigaction system call failed
Any good suggestions other than modifying all the scripts?

I tried "bash" and got the infamous
libfcc.so.261.0: Undefined error:0
so I'll have to recompile it from the port and try that...
