    Description

      class Hang {
          public static void main(String[] args) {
              Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
              String cmd = "/bin/true";
              while (true) {
                  System.out.println("Running " + cmd);
                  try {
                      Process p = r.exec(cmd);
                      int v = p.waitFor();
                      System.out.println(cmd + " returned " + v);
                  } catch (Exception e) {
                      System.err.println("Exception " + e);
                  }
              }
          }
      }

      Consider the above program. When I run it under Solaris with jdk.beta, I get:

      Running /bin/true
      pid 790 status 0
      Received sigchild for 790 exit=0
      /bin/true returned 0
      Running /bin/true

      The second Process.waitFor() never returns, even though the process does exit.
