Thanks for the report. I made some changes in this area between bash-4.1 and bash-4.2 in response to a Posix interpretation: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=53 I think Posix is ambiguous about the disposition of signals that are ignored when a new shell or subshell is started, or at least open to differing interpretations -- ksh93 behaves as bash-4.2 does, for instance, where dash and mksh behave like bash-4.1 -- but I think it's better not to deliberately introduce an incompatibility. I will revert to the bash-4.1 behavior for the next release. This may or may not come out as a patch to bash-4.2.
