Package: emacs23
Version: 23.2+1-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello,
emacs23 would sometimes hang while waiting for a child. This is because
wait_for_termination assumes that on all BSD-like systems kill() returns
-1 on zombies. It happens that GNU/Hurd is a BSD-like system, but its
kill() returns 0 on zombies.
The attached patch fixes that.

/* Note that kill returns -1 even if the process is just a zombie now.

and child_sig will do wait3 and make the process go away. */
