- * Do a wait system call. If job control is compiled in, we accept
- * stopped processes. If block is zero, we return a value of zero
- * rather than blocking.
- *
- * System V doesn't have a non-blocking wait system call. It does
- * have a SIGCLD signal that is sent to a process when one of it's
- * children dies. The obvious way to use SIGCLD would be to install
- * a handler for SIGCLD which simply bumped a counter when a SIGCLD
- * was received, and have waitproc bump another counter when it got
- * the status of a process. Waitproc would then know that a wait
- * system call would not block if the two counters were different.
- * This approach doesn't work because if a process has children that
- * have not been waited for, System V will send it a SIGCLD when it
- * installs a signal handler for SIGCLD. What this means is that when
- * a child exits, the shell will be sent SIGCLD signals continuously
- * until is runs out of stack space, unless it does a wait call before
- * restoring the signal handler. The code below takes advantage of
- * this (mis)feature by installing a signal handler for SIGCLD and
- * then checking to see whether it was called. If there are any
- * children to be waited for, it will be.
- *
- * If neither SYSV nor BSD is defined, we don't implement nonblocking
- * waits at all. In this case, the user will not be informed when
- * a background process until the next time she runs a real program
- * (as opposed to running a builtin command or just typing return),
- * and the jobs command may give out of date information.
