System: NetBSD nomad.brodiefamily.org 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (NOMAD) #0: Sun Dec 17 17:38:28 PST 2000 damon@nomad.brodiefamily.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/NOMAD i386


>Description:
	I have a program that produces no output to STDOUT.  When this program is run from cron I get emails with the message:

Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default.

>How-To-Repeat:

crontest.pl:

#!/usr/pkg/bin/perl -w
exit 0;

add crontest.pl to crontab

wait for email.
>Fix:
A search on deja tells me that OpenBSD and FreeBSD have solved this problem, but I have yet to see the actual solution.
