Description:   Opened: 2002-12-07 11:29 0000 
Whenever I finish the last diff in an interactive merge during etc-update it 
prints

%r
sdiff: subsidiary program `/usr/bin/nano' failed
1) Replace /etc/make.conf with merged file

This doesn't seem to actually effect anything, and I can run /usr/bin/nano just 
fine.

I am having the same error:
  
 1. I re-installed nano, still the same outcome
 2. changed EDITOR=/bin/nano, outcome is the same.
 3. re-install lintool, same outcome

All this after a rsync and emerge -u world.

patch to sdiff.c, removes waitpid() call after pclose() on piped diff stream

sdiff calls waitpid() after pclose() on the piped diff process stream. As I
read the pclose() documentation, pclose() waits for the child, so an explicit
waitpid() call after pclose() is probably returning -1 and setting errno to
ECHILD (just a guess).

Worked, I suggest to gentoo team to add the patch to the diffutils :-)
This made my day.
