I had a look at it, and I think I have found the cause of the bash proble=
m.
Basically, the read() function should fail with EINTR when a signal is=20
caught, but in MiNT it continues blocking.

The attached program is a very simple testcase.

On Linux and Cygwin, I get:
$ ./mysig
Please type ^C
^CSIGINT!
ret =3D -1, errno =3D 4, msg =3D Interrupted system call

But on MiNT, I can type ^C several times, it does not exit:
$ ./mysig
Please type ^C
SIGINT!
SIGINT!
SIGINT!
SIGINT!

However it exits if I type a standard key, of course.

I don't know if the problem comes from the kernel or the MiNTLib.
