In one of it's source modules elm 1.7 traps signal SIGHUP, SCO Professional
and SCO FOXPLUS also have this 'feature'. I expect it has to do with some
misguided sense of file integrity. When I have tested my 'fix' to the source
I will be happy to post. The problem with elm 1.7 was not reported by me,
but by my local xenix guru, news feed and friend Jack Vogel of Turnkey
Computer Consultants.
