===================================== As distributed, "vmshow" uses "sigignore" in the "catch" routine; running it like this appeared to effectively make it unkillable by all except su; the fix i put in was just to change the "sigignore"'s to "sigrelse"'s. Nice little piece of code...

The problem mentioned in the previous article about "vmshow" can
get real nasty. I changed it myself (I'm the guy that wrote the beast)
by simply commenting out all the catch stuff for SIGQUIT. There seems
to be a race condition, where if you give it a control-C, it ignores
it, AND any subsequent ones. So if you have vmshow, comment
out the lines saying "sigset(SIGQUIT,cleanup)" and similar things;
or do as the previous article suggests, and change the sigignore
in cleanup() to sigrelse.
