Re: core subdirectories

Hmm.  I think this is a version difference; the original configure script was
generated with autoconf 2.13, and I've generated mine with 2.53.  Unfortunately,
the new version always executes the cleanup code, on exits from all signals.

Sorry that I didn't see the version difference, though; I didn't even think of 
looking for that.
