#include <time.h>
#include <signal.h>
static void dummy(int sig) {}
int main() {
    struct timespec t = { 2, 0 };

    signal(SIGCHLD, dummy);   // Pick one
    signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN); //
    nanosleep(&t, &t);
    return 0;
}
 * Testing on 2.4.20 and on 2.6.35-rc4:
 * With SIG_DFL, nanosleep is not interrupted by SIGCHLD. Ok.
 * With dummy handler, nanosleep is interrupted by SIGCHLD. Ok.
 * With SIG_IGN, nanosleep is NOT interrupted by SIGCHLD.
 * It looks like sleep's workaround for SIG_IGN is no longer needed?
 * The only emails I can find are from 1998 (!):
