#42334: emacs @24.3_1+gtk+x11 error in g_spawn_sync() - emacs bug #8855
---------------------------------+--------------------------------

     Type:  defect               |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal               |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:  emacs, g_spawn_sync  |       Port:  emacs
---------------------------------+--------------------------------
 I upgraded to Mavericks, upgraded macports, uninstalled all my ports,
 cleaned, and install emacs first.
 I installed port emacs @24.3_1+gtk+11 and since the install the following
 error message appears once or twice after starting emacs:

 (emacs:29226): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of
 a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid(). Most
 likely the process is ignoring SIGCHLD, or some other thread is invoking
 waitpid() with a nonpositive first argument; either behavior can break
 applications that use g_spawn_sync either directly or indirectly

 This error is supposed to have been fixed in emacs 24.3 according to this:
 [http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8855#53]

 I also uninstalled, cleaned, and built emacs @24.3_1+dbus+gtk+x11 and see
 the same issue.

 Given the fact that the bug has been fixed by emacs developers in 24.3,
 you might be building against old sources or there is an issue with your
 dbus patch.
