Hello,
It looks like the system() function as used with linuxthreads (or on
sparc) doesn't block SIGCHLD but resets the default handler instead,
which may result in lost signals if a custom handler was installed.
Attached is a small source file that demonstrates the issue. A patch
will follow as a reply to this message.
Thanks.
