Re: [Patch] trap: exit: invalid signal specification

I am not quite sure what to make out this...  Do you mean your
shell does not like the command "exit" spelled in lowercase
under Turkic locale?

Sorry to not clear enough previously, for Turkic locales (tr_TR, az_AZ etc.) 
upper(i) != I. More detailed analysis can be found at 
http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/turkish-i18n.html, "Why Applications Fail With 
The Turkish Language" section. This is the main reason of this problem. 

According to its man page signals defined with uppercase letters but also 
different trap implementations may permit lowercase signal names as an 
extension. 

As an example bash (v. 3.1.17) permits lowercase signal names but it converts 
this lowercase signal names into uppercase ones while interpreting the 
script. But for our "Turkish has 4 letter "I"s" problem this convert to 
uppercase one process fails but for bash invalid signal names not be 
considered a syntax error and do not cause the shell to abort.
