System: NetBSD localhost 1.5W NetBSD 1.5W (NETLUX) #0: Tue Jun 12 11:01:34 EDT 2001 boor@localhost:/usr/trunk.src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/NETLUX macppc

Kernel is from trunk.  The machine is a TiG4.  It has the ``hybrid
wdc'' patch appled.

>Description:

The GDB test ``sigall.exp'' creates a sub-process (of expect) called
sigall and then sends signals to it.

The process refuses to die (kill -9).  It just sits there chewing up
CPU time.

ac131313@nettle$ ps wux | grep sigall
ac131313 19108 98.8  0.2    28   472 p3 RNX+ 10:27AM 50:04.45 /home/scratch/GDB/mi/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/sigall 

Killing its parent (expect) and then killing the child (sigall) does
work.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

Fetch a current gdb+dejagnu tar-ball from
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/#download .

Configure, build, run the test sigall.exp:

gmake check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='--debug sigall.exp'
