Package: kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64 Version: 8.1+dfsg-8 Severity: serious Hi,
Test case: <--------- #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> int retval; int pid; void * thread_get_retval(void *arg) { if (waitpid(pid, &retval, 0) == -1) { perror("waitpid"); exit(1); } printf("hello\n"); return(0); } int main() { pthread_t tid; if ((pid = fork()) == 0) { return 42; } printf("PID: %d\n", pid); if (pthread_create(&tid, NULL, thread_get_retval, NULL)) { perror("pthread_create"); exit(1); } printf("Retval: %d\n", WEXITSTATUS(retval)); return 0; } ---------> As you can see, the main thread delegates the waitpid call to a sub-thread. But both threads are still part of the same process, so waitpid should not fail.
