- /* DE: waitpid manpage states that waitpid can fail with EINTR
- if the call is interrupted by a caught signal. I suppose
- 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
- the callback and with the WNOHANG flag which would seem to
- 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
- waiting for a child process to exit is simply not that common.
