sched/task/task_exithook.c: nxtask_signalparent() in task_exithook.c may invalidate the group's parent task ID (tg_ppid) too soon. The tg_ppid field is use only to remember the parent tasks ID so that it can send the SIGCHLD signal to it. So it must stay valid until SIGCHLD has been sent. In nxtask_signalparent(), it calls nxtask_sigchild() to send SIGCHLD to the parent, then invalidates tg_ppid. That would be okay, except that the SIGCHLD is only sent when the last member of the group terminates. That is incorrect; tg_ppid can be invalidated too soon and, as a consequence, SIGCHLD would never be sent.
