Doesn't wait call suspend the calling process until the child is terminated?
From man page for wait:
The wait() function suspends execution of its calling process until
status information is available for a terminated child process
But in your case the child process is not terminated. If
I have a small test program which simply forks and execs
its command line arguments, but after the fork and before
the exec, it sends a SIGSTOP to the child. The parent then
sleeps for 3 seconds before exiting. However, a signal
handler for SIGCHLD has been installed and I was expecting
the parent

I should add that even with the sigaction(2) interface, without
the `sigprocmask' call, it still doesn't work, which suggests
that SIGCHLD is being blocked.
Can anyone
