Subject: [uml-devel] [PATCH 6/8] UML - Block SIGWINCH in ptrace tester child
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2006 21:24:03 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200602070224.k172O384009674@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)

The process that UML uses to probe the host's ptrace capabilities can (rarely)
receive a SIGWINCH, confusing the parent.  This fixes that by blocking 
SIGWINCH.
