Hello,

At least in FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE dd(1) doesn't seem to support
the USR1 signal. Instead of using the SIGUSR1 signal it supports
the SIGINFO signal.

For compatibility  reasons I would appreciate SIGUSR1 support beside
of SIGINFO support. Or is there any reason not to use it?


Regards,
Sylwester
