I have compiled MIT scheme under Linux and got it running without core
dumps. But there is one severe problem with the signal handling and
the interrupt keys. The input mode sometimes changes from
non-canonical to canonical without reason in the Ctrl-C menu.
MIT scheme calls functions like printf in the signal handlers. Is it
ok to do so? My POSIX-book says it isn't... I'm no Linux-wizard so I
can't tell if that caused the problem.
