What you are looking at there is a struct sigaction, not a struct

Hmm, I saw that in the code, but I'm not totally convinced.
As I read it, somewhere down the bottom of everything the linux sigaction
system call is made and it is expecting the new type sigaction. Linux is
expecting distributors to recompile #including the new headers which would
result in it all just working. Unfortunately ecos copies and pastes the
old struct definition hence remains out of step.
Valgrind seems to second my reading of this in that it whinges about
uninitialized data being passed to sigaction without my mods, and is
happy with them.

Somewhere on the edge of a Galaxy, one of literally billions of such
galaxies, is a sun, one of literally billions of suns in that
galaxy.
Orbiting that sun is a small rock 330000 times smaller than that
sun.
This rock is covered by a very very thin scum of life. (Think 6000km
of rock followed by a meter or so of biomass.)
Amongst the millions of species in that scum are many hundreds of
thousands of types beetle and a mere handful of primates.
Surprisingly enough, this email does not originate from a beetle.
It originates from just one of the 6 billion vastly outnumbered humans.
I trust you will keep this perspective and context in mind when
reacting to this email.
