Help with select(2) and SIGCHLD together

[Chris Torek]

Whoaaaaaaaa!  *thud*  (sound of me falling off my chair)

I see you've run into the same problem I ran into on the Sun, doing
window select calls and catching SIGWINCH.  I didn't think anyone else
would ever notice and/or worry about this one.

As far as I can tell there is no way to avoid the race.  I hesitate to
suggest it, but it seems that select needs a sixth argument, namely a
signal mask. . . .

In my case, I ignored the race; the consequences of missing the event
were that an Emacs window might not update properly until you typed
another character (not terribly drastic), and the chances were pretty
slim.
