:Thanks, I will try setting errno, but I don't think it is signals.
:I have been running truss on the process. The relevant part is
:
:gettimeofday(0xbfbffa54,0x0)                     = 0 (0x0)
:select(0x50,0x93f8c90,0x0,0x0,0xbfbffa74)        = 3 (0x3)
:read(0x16,0xa2da000,0x8000)                      ERR#60 'Operation timed out'
:
:In fact there are no signals in the whole truss output
:
:Graham.

    What type of descriptor is the read being performed on?  A TCP
    connection or, say, a reading a file over NFS?
