Is that what you’re asking for? > My idea was that maybe make-kill-destructor is being called from somewhere else. If this is being logged, one could rule that out.

Or does linux provide a way to log all sent signals so one could find the sending process? Martin -- GPG: 7FDE 7190 2F73 2C50 236E 403D CC13 48F1 E644 08EC
