The fix I just committed only suppresses the error with errno ==
ECHILD, as other errors really would be, well, errors. Thank you for
the ktrace; it pretty clearly shows a spurious SIGCHLD and the timing
is in line with a possible cause, but it's buried in the exit handling
code in the kernel, which is subtle and quick to anger...
