Hi,

>cowdancer: unexpected WIFEXITED status in waitpid
>/var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst: line 29: /etc/timezone: Cannot allocate 
>memory

So, the real bug is in cowdancer detecting a weird environment.  The
quick workaround would be recreating cowdancer chroot.

cowdancer returns 'ENOMEM' for system calls it has failed to handle
(could be anything, but better than nothing; ENOMEM is chosen because
it's something that's handled by applications most often. this is
documented in cow-shell.1 manpage).


I don't really have a clue on why this is happening, but the error message will 
come when
1. fork/exec of '/bin/cp' is successful
2. waitpid(pid, &status) of that is successful. (cp should have finished...?)
3. but the WIFEXITED(status) isn't true.


regards,
        junichi
