Description Egbert Eich 2005-04-27 08:37:50 UTC 
We try to catch any signal that could interrupt a read in OsBlockSignals() which
gets called before reading auth data to make sure the read cannot be
intercepted. Unfortunately sigchld has been forgotten.
Patch to be attached will fix this.

        * programs/Xserver/os/utils.c: (OsBlockSignals):
        Catch SIGCHLD in OsBlockSignals() too to make sure this
        signal doesn't intercept reading the authority file (Fabian Franz,
        Bugzilla #3137).
