- Does anyone know the current draft status of POSIX.2 with regard to
- the system() function and its return code. I see that SVR4 now
- returns -1 on an error (fork, exec, or wait error) while Reno
- still returns the exit status of 127. Is -1 a valid return
- value--that is, are -1 and the valid wait() and waitpid() exit
- statuses mutually exclusive?
