tags 224543 + patch
thanks
Upstream says this is a build issue. It has been a known problem [1]
since at least 2001. Because it is triggered by a race condition, the
compile-time check for "whether pgrps need synchronization" doesn't
correctly determine that PGRP_PIPE is actually necessary on Linux.
Both Fedora [2] and Gentoo [3] define PGRP_PIPE when building. Please
apply the attached patch to also define PGRP_PIPE in Debian. The
patch also corrects a known issue when defining PGRP_PIPE [4,5,6].
