[Bug runtime/10575] occasional stapio hangs for -c CMD


------- Additional Comments From dsmith at redhat dot com  2009-10-13 14:05 -------
commit ba9abf3 should improve this situation by avoiding the pause()-based race
condition Josh mentioned in comment #2.  I've added code to use sigsuspend()
instead of pause() to avoid the race condition.

On the 2.6.31-tip kernel, I was seeing consistent failures from the
cmd_parse.exp testcase without this fix (but the specific test failures within
that testcase were random).  With commit ba9abf3, I get consistent passes with
cmd_parse.exp on that kernel.

However, because of the intermittent nature of this problem, it is possible
there are still other fixes to be made.  So, we'll leave this open for now.
