Another obvious difference is libreadline2.*1*. I just tried compiling
without readline (edit src/include/Platform.h ; make clean ; make) and
the problem disappeared. However, RedHat still seems to be shipping
libreadline2.0 There are calls to signal() in libreadline, so it
could well be the culprit.
