            Bug ID: 17092
           Summary: nscd does not correctly return child exit status
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nscd
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: arjun.is at lostca dot se
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com

The nscd parent process returns the result of a `wait' call rather than
the exit status of the child it waits for. These two aren't exactly the
same. In my case (and probably on most machines), the exit status is in
the 2nd LSB of the result of `wait', and so:

e.g. if the nscd child process returns 1, the parent returns 1 << 8,
which Bash happily reports as 0.

    Correctly report nscd child process status (BZ #17092)

    The nscd parent process returns the result of a `wait' call rather
    than the exit status of the child it waits for. These two aren't
    exactly the same. In my case (and probably on most machines), the exit
    status is in the 2nd LSB of the result of `wait', and so:

    e.g. if the nscd child process returns 1, the parent returns 1 << 8,
    which Bash happily reports as 0.
