spawn*(P_WAIT) returns 0 for an abort()ed child process

[komh]

Hi/2.

According to document, abort()ed process should return with code 3.

In practice, VAC++ 3.08 and EMX returns with code 3. OW returns with code 255.

However, kLIBC and LIBCn returns with code 0. This is problematic.

Here is a test program.

/* abort.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

int child( int argc, char *argv[])
{
    abort();

    exit( 3 );

    return 0;
}

int main( int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int rc;

    if( argc > 1 )
        return child( argc, argv );

    rc = spawnl( P_WAIT, argv[ 0 ], argv[ 0 ], argv[ 0 ], NULL );

    printf("spawnl() = %d\n", rc );

    return 0;
}

Could you please check if it happens with LIBCn 0.1.12 as well with some older LIBCn (0.1.10 for instance) or even with Knut's LIBC?

Both kLIBC v0.6.6 and LIBCn v0.1.12 have the same problem.
