I am getting some odd behavior trying to hook signals when ctlib is
loaded.

Here is a bit of example code written by a co-worker:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
        use Sybase::CTlib;
        $SIG{INT}= sub {print "sigcat called with @_[0]\n"; exit;};
        sleep 60;
        
Control-c causes a segfault with the "use Sybase::CTlib;" line and works
correctly with it commented out.

Ideas?

I am dealing with a forked program that we want to clean up correctly
when stopped by the user.  (Otherwise it leaves some nasty hanging
processes around.)
