Sergey, If I run the code below on a variety of UNIX systems and tell you how it works, will that answer your question? #include main() { sigset_t nada = 0L; if (fork() == 0) { sleep(2); exit(0); } sigsuspend(&nada); puts("returned"); exit(0); } FYI, I ran this on one system here (Digital UNIX 3.2C) and it blocked forever. If this isn't quite right, then, if it is possible, could you modify this (or throw it away and start from scratch) to show the answer to your question?
