Subject: Re: Wrong child process exit status if core dump / seg fault

I think I almost understand the problem. :-)

$?.to_i shows me the raw 16 bit status. In theory. In my case the status 
has 24 bit!

To be more precise, in my case the value is 0x860000.

--> The low byte are states like "signaled", "exited", etc... which are 
all 0.
--> The high byte is the exit code. I think ruby reads ONLY the second 
byte, which is 0. But my exit code is 0x8600 (core dump).

Yeah, to get the real exit code, I can use

   $?.to_i >> 8

Is this a bug?

Thank you,
alll
