I ran the test under GDB and reproduced the hang.  The test blocks in sigsuspend.  did_sigchild is already 1.  The child exited before the parent called sigsuspend, so it will block forever.  The parent should simply use a wait-family function to wait for the child.  Then it could also ignore SIGCHLD.

NetBSD ToT still has this bug.

    sysv test: properly wait for children

    In the msg and shm tests, if the child exited before the parent
    entered sigsuspend(), the test would hang and time out.  This was
    also a problem in the sem test, but the misuse of atf_tc_pass()
    masked it.  Adding a short sleep before the sigsuspend() calls made
    the hang 100% reliable.  With the same sleep in the new version,
    the test passes reliably.

    Remove calls to atf_tc_pass().  The call in the sem test broke the test
    by exiting prematurely, after only one child out of five had finished.
    The other two were harmless but unhelpful.

    Reduce a one-second sleep to a more reasonable duration so I can quickly
    run many iterations of the test.

    Where feasible, assert that wait() returns the child PID.  While I'm here,
    use the more succinct ATF_REQUIRE* instead of if/atf_tc_fail/else.

    Flush stdout before forking to avoid double-flush.

    Use errx() when errno is irrelevant.

    Don't use ATF_REQUIRE* in children.  Apparently, the output doesn't
    get saved.  The exit status works, so it fails correctly, but silently.

    Re-enable the test in CI.
