Error description
When performing a parallel or distributed build using clearmake in 9.0.1.x, clearmake or the Automated Build Executor (abe) may report apparently random signal numbers and terminate the build. The error messages will appear in the following sequence: abe: Warning: Process termination for PID xxxxx not caught by signal handler thread abe: Error: Commands terminated by signal yyyyy "yyyyy" will be variable. In *this instance* the termination is not by the signal in question. It appears that this is a race condition between clearmake's and abe's normal process termination logic and the "backup" process termination logic.

Problem conclusion
A fix is available in ClearCase version 9.0.1.7 - The invalid signal number is corrected to provide the correct number, and a few more checks are performed to provide more specific information on the process termination.
