IMHO SIGRTMIN is uninteresting because it is used by linux_threads to wake up threads sleeping on a mutex only (which is implemented using sigsuspend). So it will not interrupt a syscall. (I could be wrong here, though...) cat strace.out | grep SIG | grep -v SIGRTMIN Or use a system with NPTL. Johannes
