This is a bug report for perl from hutchinson.chris@gmail.com
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.7.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
Calls to system() in a forked child always return -1 if the parent has
set SIG{CHLD}='IGNORE'. I would expect/hope it to return 0.
Demonstrated by:
perl -e '$SIG{CHLD} = "IGNORE"; fork or sleep 0xbeef; print
"system:".system("true")."\n";'
prints: system:-1
Using a sub instead of "IGNORE" works as expected:
perl -e '$SIG{CHLD} = sub{}; fork or sleep 0xbeef; print
"system:".system("true")."\n";'
prints: system: 0
This result is consistent on centos4 and fedora core 2 and 3.
