I think it doesn't like the fact that the trace() call comes before
the variable declarations. If I compile with the '-pedantic' options,
I get the following message:
pool.c: In function `manage_stop_children':
pool.c:369: warning: ISO C89 forbids mixed declarations and code
If that's the problem, then the solution would be to put the trace()
call after all variable declarations.
BTW, I don't have a FreeBSD machine here, so I can't test it.
