OK.  I think the attached patch will improve matters. It makes the
tests use $PPID if it's available, otherwise it resorts to `ps -o ppid
-p $$ | tail -1`.  

After applying this patch, on my solaris box tests/bugs/signals.sh
still fails about 20% of the time. But I've looked at it, and
concluded that this is a timing issue and relates to the way we're
doing the test.  It's not a failure of the functionality we're testing.
