Yes and this is a bug.
There is a solution using the signals functions.
The goal is to block one or more signals in a code section, good exercise to
recall how software interrupts are handled :-)
In the patch joined bellow, there are more lines than needed...
I added also the catch of SIGTERM because this is the default used by the
command kill and used during the shutdown process.
Catching the TERM signal simplify the command to stop a process when running
in the background.
kill `cat /var/lock/news/fetchnews.lck` or kill <pid> or kill %<job number>
will do a clean completion.
This should solve the problem you have rightly mentioned.
N.B.
- The current file leaf.node/my.news.server is not updated but this is not a
problem.
- This patch works for 1.9.13 and 1.9.14.
- Also includes my preceding patch posted on May 26 (article download order).
- Also suppress the "water marks" reset in case of automatic unsubscription (I
don't like it...).
