Yes, I had this problem under HP-UX, too. I fixed it by adding
the following ifdef to function do_child in kadmin/server/adm_network.c:
(first part is what was originally there)
#ifndef __hpux
signal(SIGCHLD, do_child);
pid = wait(&status);
#else /* __hpux */
/*
* HPUX will deliver an immediate signal if a child is pending,
* resulting in infinite recursion!
*/
pid = wait(&status);
signal(SIGCHLD, do_child);
#endif /* __hpux */
I guess the problem affects more than just HP-UX, though.
