... it seems to be an issue that |pw->p_wstat| in jobs.c line 232 has
no value assigned (and therefore the value is more or less random):
-- snip --
sorc = WIFSTOPPED(pw->p_wstat) || WIFCONTINUED(pw->p_wstat);
-- snip --
Erm... my guess is the valgrind hit happens when the |pw->p_wstat|
field is probed before the value is set when the process child
quits... right ?
I worked-around the issue with the following patch but I'm not sure
whether this is the correct solution:
