It's the last-ditch process-kill signal that gets used among other things to kill a process that is no longer able to run. I find I get it when I completely totally run out of stack space. At that point it can't call a signal handler because it has no more stack space to do it in. There are probably other ways it can be invoked. -hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
