Hi,

Olivier Dion <olivier.dion <at> polymtl.ca> skribis:

This was fixed in commit 4ae33f76d6b33ea0bedfa36050d44c88d08c2823, which
is included in 3.0.10:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cat t.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>

int main(void)
{
	struct sigaction act;

	sigaction(SIGINT, NULL, &act);

	printf("%p %p %p\n", act.sa_handler, SIG_IGN, SIG_DFL);
}
$ gcc -Wall t.c
$ ./a.out 
(nil) 0x1 (nil)
$ ./meta/guile -c '(system "./a.out")'
(nil) 0x1 (nil)
$ ./meta/guile -c '(system* "./a.out")'
(nil) 0x1 (nil)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
