Subject: Dynamic linker bug in 3.4-RELEASE (I think)
Message-ID: <20000317195156.A24243@ipass.net>

I have a small program I wrote that uses sigwait and takes about 1 second
to complete.  

If I run it over-and-over many times repeatedly, occasionally the dynamic
linker will fail to resolve the "sigwait" symbol.

Here is how I run it in tcsh:

     while (1)
       hw4-1 > /dev/null
       echo Done
       end

And here is some output from the shell:

     ... 
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: hw4-1: Undefined symbol "sigwait"
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     Done
     ... 

Is this a bug?  Already fixed?  Or should I file a PR.

Thanks,

Randall
