+Subject: [PATCH] Fix intermittent failure of test t/op/sigsystem.t
+
+[Perl issue #21546] -- https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/21546
+
+This fix addresses the intermittent failure of the test
+t/op/sigsystem.t by improving its robustness. Before the fix, this
+test waits a hard-coded amount of time in the parent process for the
+child process to exit, and the child process may not be able to exit
+soon enough. With this fix, the parent process in this test polls for
+whether the SIGCHLD handler reaped the child process for at most 25
+seconds.
+
