Hi all,

I use Openwrt project and the version of musl-libc is 1.1.16. 

    I call wordexp() in my programs and it runs well. But when I debug my programs with gdb, it is blocked on wordexp().
    After some tests, I found that wordexp() call fork(), and after fork the child process is blocked.

    I write a demo and the source code is as follows.
```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
 pid_t pid;
 pid = fork();
 if (!pid) {
  printf("== child process ==\n");
  while (1) {
   printf("--child--\n");
   sleep(1);
  }
 }
 printf("== parent process ==\n");
 sleep(20);
 return 0;
}
```

    The debug log is as follows. 
```
root@Linux:/# gdb /test

(gdb) r

[Detaching after fork from child process 1697]

[Inferior 1 (process 1694) exited normally]
(gdb) 
```
    When the parent process is sleeping, I get these processes information.
```
root@Linux:/# ps | grep test
 1692 root     10916 S    gdb /test
 1694 root       680 S    /test
 1697 root       680 t    /test
 1706 root      1072 S    grep test
```

I have set gdb "follow-fork-mode" to "child", the child process can run, but I want to debug the parent process.

Besides, I have tried GDB 7.10.1 and musl-libc 1.1.22, the question still exists.
I also have swithed the C library to Glibc, and there is no question.

Could you please give us some pointers, thanks! I can supply more details as needed.

Best regards！
