Description Christian Weisgerber 2000-09-19 21:00:01 UTC 
Under the Linux syscall compatibility layer, getpgid(0) fails with
ESRCH rather than returning the process group ID of the current
process.

This can be fixed easily in sys/compat/linux/linux_misc.c:linux_getpgid().
However, as far as I can tell, the semantics of getpgid() are
exactly the same for BSD, Linux, and POSIX.  The only functional
difference between our native getpgid() and linux_getpgid() I can
detect is that the latter fails to handle being called with 0.

Therefore I suggest that linux_getpgid() is dropped entirely and
the Linux system call #132 passed on directly to getpgid(), which is
both simpler and more correct.
