I'll try that tomorrow at work.

Thinking about it a little more...
It is the _shell_ that runs pidof that is actually segfaulting.
May very well be a compiler bug, but I'm not looking in that direction
right now.

The SIGSEVG signal handler I'm playing with is in ash.c.
The idea is to put ash in a while(1); loop and gdb attach to the process.

I would appreciate any advice/ideas on how to catch this bug.

Cheers,
