Tech-talk is perfect; you're right that we don't have anywhere more appropriate right now. Many thanks for the fix, which I have committed to CVS. I will leave it to Janet Anderson to create a new release of cau as she sees fit when she returns.


This allows cau to exit gracefully on receipt of a signal.  The moral
of the story?  Use ANSI C prototypes!  (the offending argument-less
prototype is in genDefs.h, line 236)

As with many of our older tools, cau was written in the days of K&R before prorotypes were widely available, and we haven't had the time to go through and add them, although as you point out there are many places where we really should...
