Created attachment 802202 [details] Reproducer Description of problem: When ltracing a program with vfork, not all of the _exit calls are catched. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ltrace-0.5-23.45svn.el6.ppc64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run the attached reproducer -- or -- 1. ltrace -f -o ltrace.log ./vfork64 2. cat ltrace.log | grep _exit Actual results: There's only one _exit call in the ltrace, although there should be two of them. Expected results: There are all of the calls made by traced app. Additional info: - This issue happens only when tracing a 64bit application on ppc64. When you build the same app with -m32 option, everything passes well. - It happens only on ppc64 - When vfork is substituted by fork, everything passes well. - The call which is lost is the _exit() call of the parent process.
