Package: perl-base
Version: 5.10.0-19
Severity: important
When perl is testing if a child process is stopped, the
result of the WIFSTOPPED function is never correct:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$|++;
use POSIX;
unless ( $pid = fork ) {
print "child: stopping self\n";
kill STOP => $$;
exit;
}
waitpid($pid, WUNTRACED);
if (WIFSTOPPED($?)) {
print "parent: child stop (WIFSTOPPED worked: YAY)\n";
} else {
print "parent: child exit (WIFSTOPPED failed: BUMMER)\n";
}
__END__
This problem is new to Debian Lenny... On my old Debian Etch
system it's fine. I've also tested it on some other OS'es (e.g.:
OpenBSD w/ perl v.5.10) and the small app above works in happy mode.
Thanks for your consideration!
