show more of your code. It looks like you might be dealing with a sequence error. I also have serious doubts about "if forkd_id == child" because that isn't even C syntax since you must have parenthesis about the expression you are testing and from what you have posted both forkd_id and child are indeterminate. Pseudo-code is not very useful in these cases. Received on Thu Sep 09 1999 - 11:16:24 CDT
