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

I have not been able to duplicate this "error".

I have tested this on Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.4.20, glibc 2.3.2) with Perl 5.8.0 and it returns 5 as intended.

I ran into this on Gentoo with perl-5.20.2 with ithreads useflag enabled. Recompiling without ithreads (that is the default) fixed the problem.	[reply]
