The Linux version of Bash consistently dies when I type the interrupt
key ^C after entering the command
	<fjh:~> * * * * * *
in a directory with about 1000 files. (With smaller directories I don't
have time to press ^C before the next prompt returns.)

If run in a top-level shell it just returns to the "login:" prompt.
If run from a secondary-level shell it gives the message "IOT Trap/Abort
and then returns to the invoking shell.

This .signature virus is a self-referential statement that is true - but 
you will only be able to consistently believe it if you copy it to your own
.signature file!
