parente9d6f86c3468c07e6b1b12c0dd0b46516528e450 (diff)
Use waitpid()/EINTR idiom for the specific pid, rather than generic wait(),
in case the parent process was started with a dangling child. This style ensures any potential parent:child interlock isn't disrupted due to the "wrong" child being waited on first. Then the other other childs can safely zombie. ok millert jca brynet
