I think, this issue is due to this fork:
pid = fork();
if (pid == 0)
execvp(thisfile, argv);
wait(&rc);
Since termination of the bad process is accompanied with these syslog
messages:
Aug 13 19:01:26 g5 com.apple.launchd[124]
([0x0-0x130130]..local.LaunchProb[9611]): Stray process with PGID equal to
this dead job: PID 9612 PPID 1 LaunchProb
Aug 13 19:01:26 g5 com.apple.launchd[124]
([0x0-0x130130]..local.LaunchProb[9611]): Exited: Terminated
I suppose, it's due to the fork. Could you briefly explain, why this fork()
is necessary, since it forks into the same binary already running.
Thanks,
Pete
