I wonder what happens when the editor is suspended > ;-) I think we would want to leave SIGTSTP alone; the editor should typically respect it, and we would want to also pause until we get SIGCONT (although even if we did continue, we would just be blocking on wait() for the editor, anyway, so it is not a big deal). Implicit in my "least surprise" comment above is that handling SIGQUIT would match what system(3) does, so it makes sense to me to match that (it also blocks SIGCHLD, but I do not think that really matters from a user-visible perspective). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
