Title:
  Reading from <STDIN> results in "Interrupted system call" error when
  SIGCHLD handler is active

Status in “perl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi all,

  I've stumbled upon quite a strange behaviour on a server which has
  recently been upgraded from Debian squeeze to Ubuntu 12.04. I've
  narrowed it down to a simple test case which is attached.

  To reproduce the problem run "./f.pl | ./2.pl". Within a second
  (sometimes it takes a bit longer) it gives me the following:

  error: Interrupted system call at ./2.pl line 8, <STDIN> line 11.

  I've also tried it on 12.10 and got exactly the same behaviour.

  Best regards,
