I see a problem with bash and signals too when libpthread is involved. 
It would core dump when I resize a window.  I use nss_ldap and it was
pulling in pthread through db41.  I solved my issue by rebuilding db41
to eliminate pthread from the libdb41.so.1.  Perhaps tracing this down
would be useful?
