More AIX weirdness (see my previous posting on CD and open):

It appears that my AIX system has a problem with signals (and this may
relate to the lack of delta CD progress).
If I have
	trap "echo trapped 2" 2
on one **physical** terminal,
and issue 
	kill -2 pid
as super-user from another terminal ("pid" is replaced with the appropriate
process-id),

NOTHING HAPPENS.  I press ENTER on the terminal "killed" and I get a
new prompt.  If I enter
	echo "foo"
on the "killed" terminal, my output is
	foo
	trapped 2

It looks to me like I have a problem with signals not getting processed
because they are waiting on something.  Could this be caused by
insufficient swap space?  (I installed with the defaults.  I have 8M of
RAM.  I have only 2 logins active at this time.)

Does EVERYONE have problems like mine with AIX, or am I totally
f***ing this system up? (I never had problems like this with my
SYS V on a 3b2!)


(Bear with me...sooner or later I'll get this thing installed and quit
asking for help...I hope!)

Standard sh behavior... :-(
