Syscalls seen by "truss -f" when the bug occurs

Syscalls seen by "truss -f" when the bug occurs. Attached syscalls.txt is this
command as a file, just if my comment is badly formatted in Bugzilla.

parent = 57517
child = 61173

57517: open("(null)",O_WRONLY,037777777777)     ERR#4 'Interrupted system call'
57517: SIGNAL 14 (SIGALRM)
57517:
sigreturn(0x7fffffffe080,0x10006,0x7fffffffe080,0x0,0xffff80000060386e,0x0)
ERR#4 'Interrupted system call'

=> parent is blocked on open(fifo, O_WRONLY) because the child didn't open it
   yet, but the open() is interrupted by signals every 10 ms.

    61173: nanosleep({0.009149571 })         = 0 (0x0)
    61173: SIGNAL 14 (SIGALRM)
    61173:
sigreturn(0x7fffffffe040,0x10006,0x7fffffffe040,0x1ff3019bb4b18,0xffffffff8093b550,0xfffff8001fcf9980)
ERR#4 'Interrupted system call'

    => child is sleeping, nanosleep() is interrupted every 10 ms by a signal

57517: open("(null)",O_WRONLY,037777777777)     = 0 (0x0)

=> strange, truss says that the parent succeeded first to open a FIFO to
   writing, whereas the child didn't open it yet. It looks more like a bug or
   race condition in truss. I prefer to think that the parent syscall succeeded
   after the open() in the child process.

=> moreover, no, the parent failed to open the FIFO: see below, it still tries
   to open it!?

=> And what is this strange file descriptor 0? It is supposed to be already
   be used by stdin...

    61173: open("fifo_57517_465",O_RDONLY,042716203) = 4 (0x4)

    => child process opened the FIFO for reading, it should unblock open() in
       the parent.

    61173: close(4)                     ERR#4 'Interrupted system call'

    => oh oh, closing the FIFO in the child process failed with EINTR...
       Bad things happens since this point.

57517: SIGNAL 14 (SIGALRM)
57517:
sigreturn(0x7fffffffe080,0x10006,0x7fffffffe080,0x0,0xffff80000060386e,0x0) = 0
(0x0)

=> open() succeeded or was interrupted by EINTR?

    61173: fstat(4,0x7fffffffe660)             ERR#9 'Bad file descriptor'

    => fstat() confirms that the FIFO file descriptor is really closed in the
       child.

    61173: setitimer(0,{0.000000, 0.000000 },0x0)     = 0 (0x0)

    61173: close(3)                     = 0 (0x0)

    => fd 3 is only used to workaround truss bugs, it's a copy of the stdout
       (fd 1).

    61173:
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK,SIGHUP|SIGINT|SIGQUIT|SIGKILL|SIGPIPE|SIGALRM|SIGTERM|SIGURG|SIGSTOP|SIGTSTP|SIGCONT|SIGCHLD|SIGTTIN|SIGTTOU|SIGIO|SIGXCPU|SIGXFSZ|SIGVTALRM|SIGPROF|SIGWINCH|SIGINFO|SIGUSR1|SIGUSR2,0x0)

    61173: sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK,0x0,0x0)         = 0 (0x0)
    61173: process exit, rval = 0

=> open() still fails in the parent, whereas the child process succeeded to
   open it for reading *and* closed it. The parent open() is supposed to be
   unblocked since the child open() succeeded, no?

(... open sequence is repeated forever, it never succeed ...)
