Yes I now see it was my silly fault for calling the function "sigtrap" :-( Changed it to something else and now it works OK. Thanks for the responses.

Giving this a little more thought leads me to observe that sigtrap is being caught as part of your sigspec ... changing the name of your function to something that isn't legal in the sigspec would probably be a good idea in any event and then RHEL3 works as you expect.
