If I call gettimeofday() or time() in my signal handler of SIG_CHLD, the program
hangs in the time() or gettimeofday() call and uses all available cpu-time.
Code in sig_child:
while((pid = waitpid(-1, &tmp, WNOHANG)) > 0) {
[...]
// Either
//delay = MAX_DELAY / (time(NULL) - svc->start);
// Or
// never returns from gettimeofday
if(gettimeofday(&now,NULL) == -1) {
print_errno(MSG_GETTIMEOFDAY);;
delay = 0;
} else {
delay = MAX_DELAY / (now.tv_sec - svc->start);
}
