Sorry for such amount of messages. This is the last one in this bunch.
I found myself software that ignores SIGCHLD with signal(3) but wants then
to wait() for a child.

So, I must say: this behaviour might be done as an option, if user wants it,
and sould be prohibited by default. So do anybody have objections against
the patch which will allow such optional behaviour if some envvariable is
set?
