Package: tmux
Version: 1.2-2
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Strange as it appears, it seems that version 1.2-2 interfers with
software calling waitpid().
Just as an example, running reportbug inside tmux (inside urxvt) leads
to:
gpi...@caimano:~$ reportbug tmux
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 40, in <module>
from reportbug import utils

retncode = out.close()
IOError: [Errno 10] No child processes
The same command works outside tmux (I'm running it to write this bug
report inside urxvt). Reverting back to version 1.2-1 makes this bug
disappear.
This bug affect a lot of unrelated software, but obviously only if run
inside tmux.
Thanks,
Gian Piero.
