More than likely they are not handling SIGCHLD correctly. Look for
a line like
signal(SIGCHLD,SIG_IGN);
If there is a line like that and it isn't wrapped in some ifdef's
change it to
#ifdef BSD
signal(SIGCHLD, sig_child);
#else
signal(SIGCHLD,SIG_IGN);
#endif
then at the end of the file add
void sig_child(int sig)
{
#ifdef BSD
int pid;
int status;
/* catch any and all outstanding SIGCHLD's */
while((pid = waitpid(-1, &status, WNOHANG)) > 0)
;
#endif
}
and at the top where you see other function declarations add
void sig_child(int);
Add a -DBSD to your CFLAGS in the Makefile and send diff's to Corollary.
