Hi, everyone

I just found a simple program:

-----------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>

int main(void)
{
int ret;

signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);

ret = system("/bin/date 1>/dev/null");
printf("%d\n", ret);

return 0;
}
----------------------------

runs under 2.4.23 with ret = 0,
but under 2.6.0-test11, ret = -1.

Why?

And when i remove
signal(...)
it returns the same value 0.

I use Slackware 9.1 with GCC 3.2.3 and libc 2.3.2


Regards.
