This is great, just to mess things up, the linux kernel that I have to use 
(2.4.21 patched to death) doesn't support the option WCONTINUED for 
syscall waitpid (wait4 in kernel). The new glibc-2.3.5 I just got 
installed doesn't care about this though.

The upshot is that my new bash - compiled with new glibc - tries to use 
this to wait for processes. The system call fails with EINVAL in the 
kernel, and bash  goes into an infinite loop after any program executed :)

Quick fix: in bash-3.0/jobs.c  undefine WCONTINUED before it gets used.
