# 2004/12/17 09:18:41-08:00 [EMAIL PROTECTED] # [PATCH] fix bogus ECHILD return from wait* with zombie group leader I tried to apply this patch to the SuSE kernel-source-2.6.8-24.10, but it failed. The reason is obvious: there are other patches necessary before applying this one. The kernel/exit.c of SuSE 2.6.8-24.10 corresponds to bitkeeper rev 1.155, and the above "bogus ECHILD return" fix is in bk rev 1.170 of kernel/exit.c, thus there are at least 15 additional fixes to be considered for backporting from 2.6.10 to SuSE's 2.6.8-24.10. This is to much for me, as I am no kernel hacker. If no one picks up that job, then my only hope is that SuSE will finally move its SuSE 9.2 forward to 2.6.10.
