Package: all KDE apps Version: 1.92 When executing an application which uses SIGRTMIN and the application is not linked with -lpthreads, SIGRTMIN is blocked. SIGRTMIN is normally equal to 32. The Linux Pthreads library however uses this signal for its own. It increments SIGRTMIN and all blocks the signal. After forking and execing another program the signal mask is still blocking SIGRTMIN(32 variant). This is quite unexpected. Especially konsole and kdeinit should reset the sigprocmask before calling exec(2). Robert -- Robert de Vries rhdv@rhdv.cistron.nl
