You're right.  Thanks for catching that.
I think it should look like this:

    {
	    int ret = eligible_child(type, pid, options, p);
	    if (ret <= 0)
		    return ret;

	    if (p->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD)
		    return 0;

	    /*
	     * We don't reap group leaders with subthreads.
	     */
	    if (p->exit_state == EXIT_ZOMBIE && !delay_group_leader(p))
		    return wait_task_zombie(p, options, infop, stat_addr, ru);

	    /*
	     * It's stopped or running now, so it might
	     * later continue, exit, or stop again.
	     */
	    *retval = 0;

	    if (task_is_stopped_or_traced(p))
		    return wait_task_stopped(p, options, infop, stat_addr, ru);

	    return wait_task_continued(p, options, infop, stat_addr, ru);
    }

What do you think?


Thanks,
Roland
