Showcase: compile exectest.c, run test.java calling 'exectest' Runtime.exec() seems to pass down some strange signal configuration to child processes in GCC >=4.0.0. When run from test.java the exectest.c parent process does never get CHLD signals - they seem to get blocked (as I've seen the rtsig-queue growing each time test.java was run).
GCC 3.3.3 does not have this problem. -- Summary: Runtime.getRuntime().exec() signalling Product: gcc Version: 4.0.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: libgcj AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: aeby at graeff dot com CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,java-prs at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC build triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23763
