After examining the situation more throughly, I realized that unreaped children are just processes that make is waiting upon. However, running top shows no other tasks running after gnumake (which I'm guessing is the make being run). What children is libstuff Makefile using which can cause this problem?

This problem went from trying to run 'fink selfupdate' to 'fink install cctools-extra' to examing the patch and the compile code to looking at how make is working to trying to find where these unreaped children are.

Manually running the commands in this script (starting in the '/sw/src/cctools-extra-495-1/cctools-495' directory) with 'make -d' instead of 'make' reveals that there is a problem:
Reading makefiles...
Reading makefile 'Makefile'...
Got a SIGCHLD; 1 unreaped children

This also occurs after using 'pushd misc' and even when trying to run make in the main source directory itself.

I am currently thinking that the patch is creating the problem with making stuff, but it doesn't seem like it would apply while in libstuff.

Any thoughts? Perhaps this is something of a problem with unstable?
