Hi, guys! I guess I wasn't thorough enough in testing this under Red
Hat 5.0 and 5.1. It works fine under 4.2. I'm trying to track down
the problem right now, but not having a lot of luck so far. For some
reason, pclose() is returning an ECHILD error after the sort, which
suggests that it's giving the PID of a non-existant process to wait4().
A bug in glibc's pclose(), perhaps?
I don't know why running htmerge from tcsh fixes it. So does running
it from /bin/ash. Changing the first line of rundig to "#! /bin/ash"
also fixes it. This is very bizarre. I'd sure like to get to the
bottom of it. I don't see why starting htmerge from bash causes a
wait4() for htmerge's child process to fail, but starting it from
ash or tcsh doesn't. Anyone have any ideas about this?
