as I use SIGCHLD in a program I have under development and it
works on linux (though it does not on AIX :-) ).
My problems with portmap where somewhat more serious:
o I encountered the same problem and fixed it in a more
crude manner I just inserted an exit at the appropiate
position. ;-)
o The more serious problem to me was that I was unable to
make portmap survive a broadcast-request! But these
experiment where long time ago when 0.97 was new, they
might have vanished by now!
So long,
