configured glib-2.4.3 with options <--
prefix=/home/cis/gen/general/sun_utils/gnu/sun4u-5.8 --enable-shared --enable-
static --with-libiconv=gnu>
afterwards: gmake; gmake check {gmake=3.80;gcc=2.95.3 20010315}

when it comes to child-test it hangs...
putting some printf's in child-test.c it turned out that both children were 
forked sucessfully, they slept for the given time and then did terminate 
themselves as wanted.

BUT: g_child_watch_add() only recognizes the death of the first child, it 
failes to see the second childs death!

[the first call delivered returncode "1", the second "2" (which seem to be 
okay as these are the ids of the watched event sources)]

...so the child_watch_callback() was only entered once and therfore 
g_main_loop_run() wasn't terminated and the tests do not continue...

this is the only test that fails with glib-2.4.3 under Solaris 8
(1 of 37 tests failed)
