Bug Description

Bug fixed upstream, and in debian stable. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531078

To exhibit (with psql you'll need the posgresql-client package, I think):

$ socat -u UNIX-RECV:/tmp/msock EXEC:psql
Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default.

(The "Can't ignore..." message should not be there.)

Makes using the EXEC address type painful.

Marked as fixed in Debian 1.7.1.2-1. Since Ubuntu went beyond this version in Natty (1.7.1.3-1), I presume this is fixed in the current stable (and LTS release), and am marking it as such.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, then the relevant procedure is documented here:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

However, I'm not sure this bug would qualify under that policy, although I am not on the SRU team and cannot make that decision.
