Someone undertaking some development work with me has indicated that signals advising that pipe entries appear to be lost by the operating system. I am not an OS9 expert so am looking for help.

There are a few things to watch out for. 1. Signals are guaranteed not lost from one task to the signal handler of another. If you set a flag in the handler which is then checked in the main code (i.e. the standard approach) you might not check the flag soon enough. The answer is to use _os_sigmask() to queue new signals until the old one is dealt with. 2. If you're using events, then be aware that waiting on an event unmasks signals just the same as sleeping does. Check the return value to see that the event has actually done what you think and that you haven't been woken by a signal. 3. The same goes for when you're waiting for a child process to die. Hope this helps. -Ian J Shearer, Onyx Systems Ltd.
