:Please please please... Thanks. ;-)

    Ok, sorry for the long delay, I've been playing catchup.

    I've committed these additional changes to -current and I will MFC the
    combined signal patch to -stable in 3 days.  It looks really solid to
    me.  This should satisfy everyone.

:- Hunk #1 from commit adds PS_NOCLDWAIT when SIG_IGN is used for
:  SIGCHLD, so if I use
:	sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
:	sa.sa_flags = 0;
:	sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
:	sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL);
:	sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, &so);
:  I get additional flag SA_NOCLDWAIT in so.sa_flags. None of tested
:  systems (Solaris, Unixware, Irix, Linux, Aix) works in this way.
:- If hunk #1 is applied, I see hunk #2 (resetting SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL
:  for SIGCHLD) as almost unnecessary, because it is just cosmetic
:  change now and behavior in exec() is very different among various
:  systems.
:- (And I have found another bug in my original patch. Three code lines
:  and two bad bugs... :-( :-)
:
:Here are patches for current -current (... which I had to do in the
:first posting). These should change the behavior as is in Solaris,
:where flags are not added and SIGCHLD is resetted to SIG_DFL after an
:exec(). I'm testing these patches on my -stable production backup
:server running amanda and up to now without any problem.
