Sometimes the posix test fork_3-1 fails.

[kaoutsis]

"Sometimes" means here that if you run the test 5 times, one or two times will failed. In these cases the output is like this:

[14:03:55]Kill returned 0 (0: No error)
[14:03:55] .../fork/3-1.c FAILED: Another process with the same PID as the child exists

the particular file is: src/tests/system/libroot/posix/posixtestsuite/conformance/interfaces/fork/3-1.c

the chunk of code that is related:

[...]
	/* Parent joins the child */
	ctl = waitpid(child, &status, 0);
	if (ctl != child)  {  UNRESOLVED(errno, "Waitpid returned the wrong PID");  }
	if ((!WIFEXITED(status)) || (WEXITSTATUS(status) != PTS_PASS))
	{
		UNRESOLVED(status, "Child exited abnormally");
	}
	
	ret = kill(child, 0);
	if ((ret == 0) || (errno != ESRCH))
	{
		output("Kill returned %d (%d: %s)\n", ret, errno, strerror(errno));
		FAILED("Another process with the same PID as the child exists");
	}
