Re: ReaperQueue

[Jayshree Sarma]

I did look at the code for deleteAll. The reaperQueue
is not nil, yet both these statements cause the program to seg fault
     [reaperQueue deleteAll];
     [reaperQueue removeAll];

When I comment out this line the program runs fine, no seg fault!  The
problem is that I need to delete the reaper queue. There is only
one member in the reaper queue at that time.
