Thanks for report, but please provide more info.

is it ARM specific? I can't reproduce the problem on x86.

did you try other kernel versions?

And I guess it hangs here, right?

The child should sleep SLEEPSEC seconds then exit, so the whole
test-case should take SLEEPSEC seconds too.


Do you mean it really hangs and never completes?

Can you confirm it hangs in wait() ?

Does the child print "returned success" ?

If you can reproduce the problem, please send the content of
/proc/CHILD_PID/status and /proc/PARENT_PID/status.

Oleg.
