Thanks. I don't get it with this test: the global testsuite.log file shows that configure wrongly exits 0: | 240. torture.at:1254: testing Signal handling ... | ./torture.at:1262: autoconf --force | ./torture.at:1263: ./configure $configure_options | stderr: | stdout: | ./torture.at:1263: exit code was 0, expected 1 | config.log: | > This file contains any messages produced by compilers while | > running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. | > | > It was created by configure, which was | > generated by GNU Autoconf 2.67.

Signal handling (torture.at:1254): FAILED (torture.at:1263) but the verbose 'sh -vx ./configure' logs show each that the signal is caught and the exit status is nonzero, as it should be: | + test 2 != 0 | + print -r -- configure: caught signal 2 | + print -r -- configure: exit 1 | + rm -f core *.core core.conftest.* | + rm -f -r conftest* confdefs.h conf491566* | + exit 1 | + test 2 != 0 | + print -r -- configure: caught signal 2 | + print -r -- configure: exit 1 | + rm -f core *.core core.conftest.* | + rm -f -r conftest* confdefs.h conf6422580* | + exit 1 I cannot reproduce the failure on AIX 5.3 either. Not sure what to suggest next. Maybe try running the configure script a few times in a row, to see if the failure is latent? Cheers, Ralf
