those systems are broken. has nothing really to do with ptrace06. if you want a clean method to handle it, then the autoconf route discussed is the way to go. > and there is new issue I have just spotted. > > In spawn_ptrace_child.h, > <snip> your understanding of vfork (and thus the test) is incorrect. read the *entire* description of vfork instead of the first sentence. > Also, it leaves lots of processes after the test completes. that's what we call *a bug*. fix it instead of just saying "oh it's broken lets forget about it". the code already attempts to kill all of its children as can be seen clearly in the ptrace06.c at the end. and it works fine on my x86_64 systems. -mike
