Hi,
I have a weird test case (attached) where SIGCHLD is not being
received by libev. I don't quite understand if it's a
1) bug in how I use libev
2) bug in libev itself
3) bug in the OS
The work around I found that makes this test pass is to patch libev to
start a timer (active only when there are active child watchers) which
calls childcb periodically.
I tested it against the latest libev from CVS.

Cheers,
Denis.
