    Linked Problem Reports PIN4U.00020, (in, old, system)
    Problem Summary PIN4U.00036 This test may fail on implementations because of a gray area in the specification as to whether siginfo_t can be null or not.
    Problem Text
    This failure needs to be added to PIN4U.00020 coverage, since on our
    implementation it fails for the same reason as assertions:
    3, 4, 5, 25, 26, 27 ,29, 30, 31, 32, 35, 36. That is the the XPG4
    spec allows siginfo_t to be set to NULL after a sigaction() call
    and the testcase expects it to be non-NULL.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: sigaction

    TEST PURPOSE #39
    If the implementation supports a signal which causes
    abnormal process termination but does not cause the
    generation of a core file:
    After a call to int sigaction(int sig, const struct
    sigaction *act, struct sigaction *oact) with
    SA_SIGINFO set in the sa_flags member of the sigaction
    structure pointed to by act and sig equal to SIGCHLD,
    on entry to the signal catching function specified by
    the sa_sigaction member when the child terminated
    abnormally with a signal does not cause generation of a core
    file the si_code member of the structure pointed
    to by the siginfo argument shall contain CLD_KILLED,
    the si_pid member shall contain the child process ID,
    the si_status member shall contain the child's
    signal, the si_uid member shall contain the
    real user ID of the process that sent the signal and a
    core file shall not be present.
