Ok, you can ignore this error, the command should still run.  The error is
caused by a custom SIGCHLD handler as far as I can tell.  Also there is
another problem in that the system() command is being used instead of the
ast_safe_system() call (which also happens to reset the signal handlers). 
I'll post a patch shortly.
