You did suspend (sigsuspend()) SIGCHLD before the fork? By > "fork fork", do you mean you fork twice? Ah ha! I see the problem that has been causing me this problem and probably you too. Signal suspensions (only these?) are not being copied with a double fork(). Here is an example program[1] to illustrate. They do get copied on FreeBSD-4.10 and Linux. I just do not know if they are supposed to be copied. Se=E1n P.S. I included David since he has been trying to help me with this bug. 1. http://www.farley.org/freebsd/tmp/grandparent.c --=20 sean-freebsd@farley.org --0-1585788071-1115934011=:4283--
