Since you have not told us what the platform is, there is no way to guess what signal 7 means. Please look in its /usr/include/signal.h (or more likely, some sub-file that includes) to find out the symbolic name of the signal, and report that. For instance, on the machine I'm on at the moment, I find this in /usr/include/sys/signal.h: # define _SIGEMT 7 /* EMT instruction */ but I rather doubt that's what it means on yours. regards, tom lane
