[comp.lang.perl] dump problems with buggy abort

ronald@robobar.co.uk (Ronald S H Khoo) (06/15/90)

Well, the Subject: and Summary: say it all, really.
If my (admittedly buggy) abort() calls fclose(), how can I
expect std{in,out,error} to work after an undump ? :-)

So I had to roll my own abort() { kill(getpid(), SIGIOT); }
[yeah, and fflush() the std streams too, possibly, but I didn't need it :-)]

One for the PROBLEMS section of the README, or maybe YACT ?
(Yet Another Configure Test ?)
