2.4.19-rc1 sending SIGALRM to exec'd process

2.4.19-rc1 sending SIGALRM to exec'd process

[Paul Larson]

2.4.19-rc1 seems to be having trouble sending a SIGALRM process that
have been exec'd on one of my test boxes.  From the Linux Test Project,
alarm04 test:

sig_rev     1  FAIL  :  alarm() fails to send SIGALRM to execed
                                  process

Also, the gettimeofday02 test fails when execed from the test driver,
but not when you run it alone.  This test also sends a SIGALRM to know
when it's done.

Machine is a PIII-600

Thanks,
Paul Larson

Ho hum, OK.

One more thing: Does 2.4.18 fails the test on _that_ box ?
