My quick fix has been to replace the kill() with a direct call
to siglongjmp() - not sure if this is safe, but it works. I
am being a pragmatist today.

I will try to get more debugging done on the signal problem at
some stage, but I seem to have a "working" solution.

Is their any reason not to replace the kill() with a longjmp()
in the long run - no pun intended.
