From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030206

Description of problem:
Since Phoebe 3 (Phoebe 8.0.94), the kernel introduces a mention of an
application bug, triggered by programs like "xterm" and parts of Anaconda :

 "application bug: xterm(7260) has SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN but calls
  wait().
  (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait'). Workaround activated."



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start "xterm"
2. Type something inside xterm.
3. "dmesg"
    

Actual Results:   

"application bug: xterm(7260) has SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN but calls
 wait().
 (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait'). Workaround activated."


Expected Results:  No application bug.

Additional info:

kernel-2.4.20-2.48
glibc-2.3.1-46
Phoebe 8.0.94

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2003-02-25 21:48:52 UTC

that's the app being buggy... not the kernel.
but please make sure you've updated phoebe to other parts too, eg utemper etc

Comment 2 Peter van Egdom 2003-02-25 22:31:42 UTC

Hmm.. okay, updated to "utempter-0.5.2-16" fixes described problem.
Reassigning component from 'kernel' to 'utempter' and closing bug.
Thanks!
