           Summary: after call sigaction
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: weikun at caltech dot edu
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org

I notice since gcc 3, the return value of system() doesn't work correctly. The 
following code will print out return 0 or -1 randomly, please help me how to 
solve this problem because I need to check if return value is 0 or -1 to make 
sure  system call is fine or not.

It happens since RH9, and it works fine before with all the previous verion 
RedHat.
