Update of /afs/dev.mit.edu/source/repository/athena/etc/xdm/xlogin
In directory pickled-herring:/afs/dev.mit.edu/user/ghudson/athena/etc/xdm/xlogin
Modified Files:
verify.c xlogin.c
Log Message:
Block signals between forking and assigning the result of fork() to a
global variable, to prevent a race condition with SIGCHLD being delivered
before the global variable is assigned.
XXX the signal handler still assumes one SIGCHLD delivery per process
forked; it should do the waitpid() multiple times.
