Andreas,

I don't mess with signals (as said); the code just parses the same area of memory
again and again (due to a programming error). As offered, you can get the binary
and the sample command line to repeat (or at the least: try to) situation if you
like. If I hadn't experienced it, I wouldn't believe myself ;-)

Regards,
Ulrich
