Wow, that sounds like something more major is going on, not just a
missed signal.  Or everything is in the one process group, that
happens IIUC when started from the menu not a shell or the shell is in
certain job control modes (can't quite remember exactly).

That might be, but I don't know why.  All I have ever noticed is that
it uses SIGPIPE

Yes it is, but the doco for signal(2) says:

Notes
The effects of this call in a multi-threaded process are unspecified.

I guess the attempt to do it first while the process was single
threaded wasn't enough :-(.

Which group is the process being debugged a part of, maybe it reverts
to the original, not its immediate parent??

Did you try --all??

Yes, understood.

Yes, when I have time to do more than just answer mails.  I thought I
recognised the name.  Maybe we should move this thread to the Geany
devel ML since I don't think its GTK specific.
