 I think I may have found the issue or at least an issue.  It has to do
 with signal suspensions not being copied from the initial process down
 to a grandchild.  This causes the parent to miss the SIGCHLD when the
 process exits too quickly.  I have an example program[1] to illustrate
 the problem.  This program does work as expected on FreeBSD-4.10 and
 Linux.
