RE: backups stopped after upgrade to redhat 9?

Maybe I'm off base, but haven't there been some recent threads about changes
in signal handling in RH 9? I think a patch to amanda 2.4.4 was posted to
fix the problem.

Search the archives for redhat 9, or SIG -- should be within the last two
months.

Note that I don't have RH9, so I haven't had this problem nor had to apply
the patch.
