Yep: that's what it is.  I constructed various test cases for trap but
I never noticed that you exec'ed in the script.  And that, as you say,
means it doesn't run the traps.  I feel somewhat happier now I
understand *why* they're not being run.  The puzzlement (and the tmp
directories) were gettig to me :-)
