Hi, we use the lib in flow-tools for some other programs. One of these also forks off children and uses a signal handler to keep track of them. Now, when calling ftio_read(), it can happen that the read() gets interrupted by the signal handler, so that read() returns with errno == EINTR.
I think that ftio_read() should simply retry the read() in this case as usual, but it doesn't - ftio_read() returns, leaving a message in the log that read() returned EINTR ... (well, and writing this to the log clears errno, so the caller has no way to handle this case). The fix seems easy, but I find it strange that there's nobody else who has encountered this case, with flow-tools being rather old. Google does not find anything related. And my C programming ability is a bit rusty ... So, am I on the wrong path?
