From: =?UTF-8?q?Carlo=20Marcelo=20Arenas=20Bel=C3=B3n?= <redacted> If the setup for the SIGCHLD signal handler sets SA_RESTART, poll() might not return with -1 and set errno to EINTR when a signal is received. Since the logic to reap zombie childs relies on those interruptions make sure to explicitly disable SA_RESTART around this function.
