Subject: [PATCH] t5562: chunked sleep to avoid lost SIGCHILD

If was found during stress-test run that a test may hang by 60 seconds.
It supposedly happens because SIGCHILD was received before sleep has
started.

Fix by looping by smaller chunks, checking $exited after each of them.
Then lost SIGCHILD would not cause longer delay than 1 second.

Submitting as proper patch. Note: I believe it does not relate to other issues
discussed in this thread.

-sleep 60; # is interrupted by SIGCHLD

+while (not $exited and $counter < 60) {
+        sleep 1;
+        $counter = $counter + 1;

 if (!$exited) {
         close($out);
         die "Command did not exit after reading whole body";
I tried this fix and it made no difference to the hang on NonStop. I do not think this fixes the root cause as sleep was never an issue and SIGCHLD was not missed in any test I conducted. Maybe on another platform it is required.
