SIGALRM ignored

[Dick]

Hi all,

I've got a problem with SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586) patchlevel 2,
Linux 2.6.5-7.191-smp.

When I do the following (from bash):

trap 'echo bla' 14 ; /bin/kill -14 $$

nothing happens, utilities like iostat and netperf (and likely other utilities)
won't work due to this problem.

I've checked the glibc installation (rpm -V) and it's unchanged, bash and all
it's dependencies are also fine.

The kernel is unchanged from the SuSE LINUX Enterprise Server.

Could someone please help?

Thanks in advance,
Dick
