Travis Vitek updated STDCXX-625:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: stdcxx-625.patch
                test.cpp

Note that this problem doesn't come up with a trivial testcase, I tried. It does happen when using SIGCHLD and sleep(). It appears that it is implementation defined what the signal mask is set to when the user signal handler is invoked. i.e. some platforms keep the same handler, some reset it back to the default, and some others temporarily set it to something else and then restore it after the handler has completed.

Attaching a testcase and patch.

2007-10-30  Travis Vitek  <vitek@roguewave.com>

	STDCXX-625
	* process.cpp (sig_handler): Don't re-register for signal from
	within signal handler to avoid stack overflow on HP-UX and AIX.
	(rw_waitpid): Set and restore signal handler inside loop so we
	can avoid using the signal handler to do it.
