sigwait - differences between Linux FreeBSD

2009-10-07 Thread Stephen Hocking
Hi all, In my efforts to make the xrdp port more robust under FreeBSD, I have discovered that sigwait (kind of an analogue to select(2), but for signals rather than I/O) re-enables ignored signals in its list under Linux, but not FreeBSD. The sesman daemon uses SIGCHLD to clean up after a session
