Hi all,
I am developing openwrt on ARMv7, and the "vfork" function in popen sometimes
cause segfault.
I have traced with gdb, but I can't find the root cause.
However, I doubt the problem is related with uClibc.
The function call chain in my test is as follows:
Netifd (main.c:335) --> netifd_init_script_handlers (handler.c:133) -->
proto_shell_add_handler (handler.c:93) --> popen (libc/stdio/popen.c:72) -->
vfork
(libpthread/nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/../../../../../../../libc/sysdeps/linux/arm/vfork.S:71)
--> SAVE_PID (and segfault here)
And following is my gdb debug trace flow.

Has anyone encountered with this problem? any sort of help will be much
appreaciated.
Thanks.
