I guess SIGCLD is really SIGCHLD under freebsd, no? I was looking at a daemon skeleton out of a Stevens book on Network programming, he specifically sets up a function that calls wait3 so that child zombies aren't left around --- however the signal man page for freebsd calls this SIGCLD and says that it is discarded by default which would suggest to me that wait3() is unnecessary if you are not interested in the status of the child.
