Hi Peter.

I applied the patch and, unfortunately, it did not seem to change the
behavior at all under FreeBSD.  It still waits for the child to exit
before processing the signal in the parent even though "set -T" is
used.  Does your patch work under Linux using the two small test
scripts, sigtrap, and sigblock, that I posted the other day?
