Linux has the SVR4 behaviour in that, if SIGCHLD is not caught,

Most likely, they are installing a signal handler of SIG_IGN for
SIGCHLD, and expecting the standard behaviour for auto-reaping.

Makes sense. This seems to be a bug in -current's Linux emulator then, since the Linux binary works fine under -stable.
