For information, I cannot reproduce it here on a debian with the same versions of the packages as Vincent's but on x86 (Vincent is on powerpc according to bugs.debian.org/482346 From the straces, we see that zsh is not receiving any SIGCHLD. It may be a good idea to check if the same can be observed with other shells that use sigsuspend (pdksh, mksh) instead of wait4/waitpid (bash, ksh93, posh, ash). Note that both mksh and posh are meant to derive from pdksh. It would be interesting to know why posh switched from sigsuspend to wait4. -- Stéphane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
