Hi
I coded a syscall which fork inside kernel and launch a new process.
The unique problem I got is when the father is waiting the child process
and received a sigkill signal. It freezes the system like a while (1) in
kernel mode.
Note that a sigkill to the child process does not matter at all.
It ts when the parent process (which did the syscall) receive a kill signal.

Thanks
John
