Problem with recent patch to update.c
There is a minor problem with Dave's recent patch to update.c. On redhat
linux 4.2, SA_NOCLDWAIT is not defined and the struct sigaction field
he names sa_sigaction is called sa_restorer.
I can't say whether the fix is even needed on linux. That is, I don't
know whether or not update leaves zombies laying around. But from the
linux sigaction man page:
>Setting SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN provides automatic reaping of
>child processes.
I can also report that there have been no netrek-related zombies on
pickled.
