Subject: DRb and signals

Using DRb appears to disable signal handlers in Ruby, at least in
1.8.4.  Is there any way to work around this?

Compare:

 trap( "SIGINT" ) { puts "foo" ; exit 0 }
 loop do sleep 1 end

with:

 require 'drb'
 DRb.start_service
 trap( "SIGINT" ) { puts "foo" ; exit 0 }
 loop do sleep 1 end

In the second case, sending the process a SIGINT appears to have no
effect at all...
