fork-fail.c

Here is another short example which triggers the bug, but without using
malloc().

>From signal(7):
POSIX.1-2003 requires an implementation to guarantee that the following
functions can be safely called inside a signal handler:
...
fork()
...

Are there any plans to fix this issue in glibc?

Best regards,
Morten K. Poulsen
