What a coincidence!
I downloaded enquire 3 days ago to test my compiler system (lcc-win32) and
I was dismayed that it crashed... in the same place that Cygnus!!!!

Meanwhile I corrected this problem. My system wasn't calling 'raise' 
when a trap occurred, so the workings of 'signal' were impossible. I
corrected this, and enquire runs OK in my system. 

I wish good luck to the friends at cygnus... :-)
