I'm having trouble with the trap command in /bin/sh on
FreeBSD 2.2.7-STABLE #0:

here's an example:

file: test.sh

      #! /bin/sh

      trap "echo hello" TERM

      ./loop.sh &

      echo "myself $$"
      echo "subshell $!"

      wait $!

file: loop.sh

      #! /bin/sh

      while [ 1 ] ; do
         echo "hello" > /dev/null
      done

When starting test.sh, I get no response when I kill -TERM either the
parent or the subshell.

This works on a Solaris box.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Cheryl
