Robert,
   Do you happen to have Blackdown JDK installed on your machine.
I just checked with Kevin Hendricks about this and he believes
we may be seeing a jdk failure due to __libc_wait being private
to glibc now in 2.3.x. This symbol is needed by JDK 1.3.1 to 
properly catch all of the sigchild signals for its fork/exec code.
Kevin says if they call the regular wait in the signal handler, it
is wrappered by the pthread library and becomes a pthread      
cancellation point which causes us to drop sigchild on occaission.
This symbol was being used to work around non-posix pthread signal
handling in Linux. 
                               Jack
