 *
 * The problem seems to appear when a signal is frequently

 * The SIGCHLD signal is always blocked (in all threads), and the child
 * waiter thread fetches the signal by a call to sigwait(). See

/*
  [arndt] In most Unix systems, including Solaris 2.5, 'fork' allocates memory
  in swap space for the child of a 'fork', whereas 'vfork' does not do this.
  The natural call to use here is therefore 'vfork'. Due to a bug in
  'vfork' in Solaris 2.5 (apparently fixed in 2.6), using 'vfork'
  can be dangerous in what seems to be these circumstances:
      If the child code under a vfork sets the signal action to SIG_DFL
      (or SIG_IGN)
      for any signal which was previously set to a signal handler, the
      state of the parent is clobbered, so that the later arrival of
      such a signal yields a sigsegv in the parent. If the signal was
      not set to a signal handler, but ignored, all seems to work.
  If you change the forking code below, beware of this.

    /*
     * Historical:
     *
     * "Note about nonblocking I/O.
     *
     * At least on Solaris, setting the write end of a TTY to nonblocking,
     * will set the input end to nonblocking as well (and vice-versa).
     * If erl is run in a pipeline like this:  cat | erl
     * the input end of the TTY will be the standard input of cat.
     * And cat is not prepared to handle nonblocking I/O."
     *
     * Actually, the reason for this is not that the tty itself gets set
     * in non-blocking mode, but that the "input end" (cat's stdin) and
     * the "output end" (erlang's stdout) are typically the "same" file
     * descriptor, dup()'ed from a single fd by one of this process'
     * ancestors.
     *
     * The workaround for this problem used to be a rather bad kludge,
     * interposing an extra process ("internal cat") between erlang's
     * stdout and the original stdout, allowing erlang to set its stdout
     * in non-blocking mode without affecting the stdin of the preceding
     * process in the pipeline - and being a kludge, it caused all kinds
     * of weird problems.
     *
     * So, this is the current logic:
     *
     * The only reason to set non-blocking mode on the output fd at all is
     * if it's something that can cause a write() to block, of course,
     * i.e. primarily if it points to a tty, socket, pipe, or fifo. 
     *
     * If we don't set non-blocking mode when we "should" have, and output
     * becomes blocked, the entire runtime system will be suspended - this
     * is normally bad of course, and can happen fairly "easily" - e.g. user
     * hits ^S on tty - but doesn't necessarily happen.
     * 
     * If we do set non-blocking mode when we "shouldn't" have, the runtime
     * system will end up seeing EOF on the input fd (due to the preceding
     * process dying), which typically will cause the entire runtime system
     * to terminate immediately (due to whatever erlang process is seeing
     * the EOF taking it as a signal to halt the system). This is *very* bad.
     * 
     * I.e. we should take a conservative approach, and only set non-
     * blocking mode when we a) need to, and b) are reasonably certain
     * that it won't be a problem. And as in the example above, the problem
     * occurs when input fd and output fd point to different "things".
     *
     * However, determining that they are not just the same "type" of
     * "thing", but actually the same instance of that type of thing, is
     * unreasonably complex in many/most cases.
     *
     * Also, with pipes, sockets, and fifos it's far from obvious that the
     * user *wants* non-blocking output: If you're running erlang inside
     * some complex pipeline, you're probably not running a real-time system
     * that must never stop, but rather *want* it to suspend if the output
     * channel is "full".
     *
     * So, the bottom line: We will only set the output fd non-blocking if
     * it points to a tty, and either a) the input fd also points to a tty,
     * or b) we can make sure that setting the output fd non-blocking
     * doesn't interfere with someone else's input, via a somewhat milder
     * kludge than the above.
     *
     * Also keep in mind that while this code is almost exclusively run as
     * a result of an erlang open_port({fd,0,1}, ...), that isn't the only
     * case - it can be called with any old pre-existing file descriptors,
     * the relations between which (if they're even two) we can only guess
     * at - still, we try our best...

		       successful replace the original one with the "new" fd
		       obtained this way, and set *that* one in non-blocking
		       mode. (Yes, this is a kludge.)

		       However, re-opening the tty may fail in a couple of
		       (unusual) cases:

		       1) The name of the tty (or an equivalent one, i.e.
			  same major/minor number) can't be found, because
			  it actually lives somewhere other than /dev (or
			  wherever ttyname() looks for it), and isn't
			  equivalent to any of those that do live in the
			  "standard" place - this should be *very* unusual.

		       2) Permissions on the tty don't allow us to open it -
			  it's perfectly possible to have an fd open to an
			  object whose permissions wouldn't allow us to open
			  it. This is not as unusual as it sounds, one case
			  is if the user has su'ed to someone else (not
			  root) - we have a read/write fd open to the tty
			  (because it has been inherited all the way down
			  here), but we have neither read nor write
			  permission for the tty.

		       In these cases, we finally give up, and don't set the
		       output fd in non-blocking mode. */
