If that doesn't solve your problem, try logging in as root and adding
the following lines to "/etc/security/limits.conf":
en021245 soft sigpending 65536
en021245 hard sigpending 65536
Then log in as en021245 and use "ulimit -Si" and "ulimit -Hi" to verify
that both the soft and hard limits have been set.
I'm also curious to know how you have the pending signals option
available to you on FC3? None of my FC3 boxes do.
I hope that works for you,
