Thanks for passing it on - I'm playing with radius at present...

The pd-ksh had the exact same problem a few years ago when I was
porting it from Sun3 to a Sparc2, the faster machine was unable to run
quite simple pipe lines due to too much being done in the SIGCHLD handler
and being interrupted part way though. But the shell then goes on to
wait for ever... my solution was much the same as Jim's.
