Trouble with waitpid and Rust

[Imre Vadász]

Hi,
Did you verify that the child isn't just exiting before the parent calls
wait(), and getting reaped by a signal handler for SIGCHLD? This should be
easy to verify by running the binary with ktrace. In that case getting
ECHILD from waitpid() would be perfectly fine and could be treated as
success.
Regards, Imre
