Subj : sigwait on HPUX misses SIGCHLD

Hi,

I am in the midst of writing a multithreaded scheduler application.
When I fork out 8 children, sigwait only captures 7 of them at times. I
have sigwait running waiting for SIGCHLDs as a thread. The other
threads have SIGCHLD blocked.

It only happens on HPUX . It works fine on SUN.
I am using HPUX 11.11i.

Anyone has any idea why this is happening ?
