I'm having problems building perl v3.??? patchlevel 37 on a DECstation 3100
running Ultrix 3.1. Patchlevevl 28 run the tests fine, but patchlevel
37 fails the op.exec test 4. I've built both patchlevels the same
way (no -O, fixed volatile, etc).
I noticed that patch 29 added calls to waitpid() in util.c, so I tried
undefining WAITPID in config.h and rebuilt patchlevel 37 again. Now
it passes all the tests. Is something broken in Ultrix 3.1 waitpid(),
or is perl not calling it properly? I don't know too much about
waitpid() and how it's used, so I can't tell if there's a problem.
Thanks,
