Re: Bug#482346: zsh doesn't always wait for its children (-> zombie)

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've done a "strace -f". The last system call from zsh is:

21344 rt_sigsuspend([] <unfinished ...>

which occurred at about the same time vlc was started. Then, beginning
at the first SIGINT:

21345 --- SIGINT (Interrupt) @ 0 (0) ---

The strace output ends here.
