(Background for UNIX fans: scconfig tests for fork() first and for wait() later. It looked like a good idea to test for fork() by printing "OK" from the child process. But it is a rather bad idea: without wait(), the parent process may exit before the child process flushes its printout. Scconfig waits until the parent proecss exits and reads what it wrote, which means in this case it reads too early, missing the "OK".) Thanks, Igor2
