I am using 5.4-STABLE with sources from May 15th's:

I have a new test program[1] that I think shows the problem. My
previous program actually showed another bug that has since been fixed.
Actually, it shows two problems. When run within the debugger
(SHELL=3D/bin/sh gdb a.out), the parent will be stuck waiting for a signal
it will never receive in sigsuspend().
The other problem is that nanosleep() is exiting immediately with a
return of zero although the time to sleep has not passed. To see it do
this, remove the BROKEN_NANOSLEEP_WITHIN_GDB definition at the top of
the program and recompile.
