First off, you're missing a ChangeLog.
I have a comment on the patch itself -- I know that sigfile() checks that
"$SIG eq 1" internally, but it would still be nice to wrap the calls to it
in another check. This is so I can later add a flag for signing without
having to set environment variables.
Also, I'm in the process of testing a new logging setup in the g-b-s. I
won't be able to apply your patch until that code stabilizes and is
checked in.
