Which directly contradicts what the actual POSIX 1003.1g draft states. So I think 1. He has some signal handling confusing him in user space, and 2. he didnt read the posix spec carefully when he wrote the code.
Any Xserver is a huge program so bugs will occur. I'm waiting a reply to the email pointing out the words in the draft (1003.1g 6.3)
