Package: evilwm
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: normal

The signal handler in 1.0.0 (and earlier) evilwm is theoretically
buggy, and some Debian system changes this past year made the
consequences real.  Stock evilwm now hangs up in response to a
kill signal (e.g., control-C or killall evilwm).

Since that is the recommended way to exit evilwm, and with the
bug present the only way remaining is a kill -9, one could even
argue for an "important" category.

I now run a version with a pre-release patch from upstream,
that works fine.  I'll tag this bug "upstream".  I can provide
Ciaran's patch if needed, but it would be better IMHO for him
to make a new release.
