    Greets all.

    I have a question... is it possible to change the meaning of the USR1
    signal, as the dump-child of the MOO process uses it ? We have been
    having trouble with our dumps and signal 11/10's (segmentation violation
    and bus errors respectivily). A dump would start, encounter one of those
    signals, quit, and give USR1 to the parent process. On this, the MOO
    would SHUTDOWN, dump, encounter the same signal the child did, PANIC, try
    to PANICDUMP, encounter the signal a third time, and quit crying about
    RECURSIVE PANIC.

    Now if the MOO wouldn't shutdown, we could try and figure out where the
    problem lies -- in the system, the scsi-interface (swap memory), the
    physical memory, or the MOO...

    Does anyone know if changin the USR1 signal would be possible/useful/wise ?

    Greets,
    Ynnoz.
