The main change would be in the exec*() man page in XSH, to text I don't
believe is XSI shaded. I'll get that to you as soon as I can. (I'm at
home right now, and won't get to the office until later this afternoon,
depending on how long my daughter's MRI takes.)
At least, that's true for the change to disallow the inheritence of
SIGCHLD==SIG_IGN. The text to change for SA_NOCLDWAIT should already be
shaded given that POSIX.1 doesn't have such an animal.
There would also be a number of other changes in XSH and XRAT to make
things consistent. I'm pre-empting some other work for XFree86, to get
this done ASAP.
I realise I should have had this done a long time ago now, but I'm caught
by surprise to see this issue resurrected after "losing" the first time
around.
My apologies & Thanks.
Marc.
