>Description:
Since upgrading a number of my ports (including numerous libraries)
in order to get other things to work, I noticed that xv-3.10a_7 was
no longer responding at all to ctrl-C (SIGTERM). So I did the obvious
thing and did a portupgrade to the latest, xv-3.10a_11. That has been
installed, but the problem remains... xv-3.10a_11 is not responding to
SIGTERM, e.g. while it is displaying a JPEG.
>How-To-Repeat:
Step 1)
Run xv-3.10a_11 and give it a filename of a JPEG on the command line.
Step 2)
Type a ctrl-C, or else go to another xterm window and run ps to find
the PID of the xv process and then do kill -15 <procno>
Note that after Step 2, nothing happens.
(Note that kill -9 still works however, but kill -15 should work also.
It did so previously, and there's no reason it shouldn't work properly.)
>Fix:
Beats me. I guess that I could tear into the code to try to find out
where it is _supposed_ to handle SIGTERM, but I'm sort of hoping that
someone who is already familiar with this code will have a look see
first.
