    Test Description:
    Base Required Conformance
    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 exited the si_code member of the structure
    pointed to by the siginfo argument shall contain CLD_EXITED, the
    si_pid member shall contain the child process ID, the si_status member
    shall contain the child's exit value and the si_uid member shall
    contain the real user ID of the process that sent the signal.

    Test Information:
    PREP: Set up action for SIGCHLD
    PREP: fork() a child that exits normally
    TEST: signal = SIGCHLD
    TEST: si_code = CLD_EXITED
    TEST: si_status = exit value
    ERROR: si_status incorrect. Expected 48879,Received 239

    Review Conclusion This PR should go for expert review.

    In the BWG review of PIN.X.0190 it states "This wording should be
    reviewed in the next revision of the specification." It appears that
    this review did not happen, and the BWG may want to take the
    opportunity to issue a resolution, before any systems are UNIX03
    branded, on whether si_status should contain the truncated exit value.

    Review Resolution Permanent Interpretation (PIN)
    Review Conclusion This is an issue that had arisen before for UNIX 98 that was not fixed
    in the revision.

    For related information, see PIN.X.0190
    http://tracking.opengroup.org/openbrand/pr/PRView?PR=1633
    and ogtgbase mail sequence 3031 .

    We conclude that this is the same situation as per UNIX 98 and hence a
    Permanent Interpretation is recommended.
