+                that means that this ought to be a while loop.
+
+                The odd thing is that it seems to fail EVERY time.  It fails
+                with a quickly exiting process (e.g. echo), and fails with a
+                slowly exiting process (e.g. sleep 2) but clearly after
+                having waited for the child to exit. Maybe it's a bug in
+                my particular version.
+
+                It works, however, from the CFSocket callback without this
+                trick but in that case it's used only after CFSocket calls

+                preclude it from being interrupted or at least make it much
+                less likely since it would not then be waiting.
+
+                If Darwin's man page is to be believed then this is definitely
+                necessary.  It's just weird that I've never seen it before
+                and apparently no one else has either or you'd think they'd
+                have reported it by now.  Perhaps blocking the GUI while
