From dcd@tc.fluke.com

The following contrived code works in 5.005_57 but blocks (on a 'STDIN' read)
in the open/fork in the second call to sub cpp.

It is interesting to note that
if the code in the subroutine is expanded inline
then it works. (my guess is there may be some 'state' associated
with the open itself.

$|=1;

sub cpp
{
  my $file = shift;
print "cpp $file\n";
  if (open(FROM_CPP, "-|") == 0) {
  print STDERR " child $file\n";
  print "$file\n";
  exit;
  }
  print STDERR " parent\n";
  while (<FROM_CPP>) {
  print "FROM_CPP​:$_";
  }
  close(FROM_CPP);
}

cpp 'segment.h';
cpp 'foo';

I expected

cpp segment.h
parent
child segment.h
FROM_CPP​:segment.h
cpp foo
parent
child foo
FROM_CPP​:foo

but all I get with 5.005_63 is

cpp segment.h
parent
child segment.h
FROM_CPP​:segment.h
cpp foo
parent

You want change#4757 posted here, also available at​:

  ftp​://ftp.linux.activestate.com/pub/staff/gsar/APC/diffs/4757.gz

It may or may not apply cleanly to _63, I haven't checked.

Thanks,
  The patch applied with a small fuzz, and fixed the problem!
