[Clfs-dev] GZIP 1.6 Test Failure

[William Harrington]

I'm getting this in the development book:

zgrep-signal: set-up failure: signal handling busted on this host

There was one post at the mailing list for gzip and no replies.

LFS-Dev mailing list has an entry about it, but states something about  
e2fsprogs probably fixing it, which makes no sense to me at this time.

Has anyone else ran across this same error in other dev builds?

Sincerely,
