Subject: [PATCH] Ignore realitme signals.
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 20:13:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040420131308.0f8af440@saguaro> (raw)
I've just committed the patch below.
The comment in the patch explains what it's about. I've seen this
problem (in which rda terminates due to getting a signal intended for
one of the inferior threads and terminates) in at three different
environments now (all embedded linux, but different architectures).
While I suspect that the real problem lies in the kernel, it certainly
doesn't hurt for RDA to ignore any real-time signals sent to it.
* server.c (main): Ignore realtime signals.
