Re: Re: why does ignoring sigCHLD corrupt return value from system()?

Tested on Linux:

RH7.2, i386, perl 5.6.1, kernel 2.4.20, glibc 2.2.4: I get the expected result, ie -1 if system() fails and 5 if prog2.pl is run, independently of how sigCHILD is handled.
RH9a, i386, perl 5.8.0, kernel 2.4.20, glibc 2.3.2: when prog2.pl get executed, ignoring sigCHILD returns -1 instead of 5

It definitely looks like a bug.
