Subject: Fourth CS 3733 class email for Spring 2003

To all CS 3733, Operating Systems Students:

Do no reply to this email if you are registered for CS 3733.

If you received this and are not registered for CS 3733, please reply and
I will remove you from this list.

The email is being sent to all students currently registered for CS 3733.

I want to point out an error in Example 2.10 on page 51 of PUP in some printings.
The correct code follows:

int status;
pid_t childpid, waitreturn;

while(childpid != (waitreturn = wait(&status)))
   if ((waitreturn == -1) && (errno != EINTR))
      break;

Also, in reporting the status of the child you should use the macors as
illustrated in Example 2.8.
