Temporary child is left as zombie process #95

Closed rohoog closed 5 years ago

rohoog commented 5 years ago

The child of the process to reptyr that was used in the setsid trickery stays as a zombie while the reptyr'ed process is running. This is more like an 'uglyness' than a real problem. It could probably be solved by wait()ing to collect the child's status.

Hm, interesting. The code does attempt to wait() on the child, so something must be going wrong there. I'm investigating.
