I'm using 1.1.0 with a 2.4.20 kernel

Just because using the ash builtin, i hoped not to have the current
shell killed, since it's the shell itself sending the signal through
kill(). Using the external command, as from the specs i've mentioned
before, could bring to have the shell receive the signal, since it's
not the shelf itself to send the signal, but /bin/kill.  
Given that in both cases the shell receives the signal (sent by the
shell itself or from /bin/kill) i'm just not sure about the right
thing to expect.
