- The addition of POSIX signals had a major impact on a lot of things, including
- the way system calls are actually made. Before spending a lot of time debugging,
- I would suggest that you upgrade entirely to a consistent 1.6.24b. It is
- definitely a possibility that you can't put together part of the old system and
- part of the new one.
