Sorry for hijacking - but out of interest, has anyone approached an
implementation of SIGCHLD either in the "go - plan9 reconciliation effort" or
in any of the "fix APE" efforts (if I remember correctly, it would be needed for
an APE pthreads implementation)?

My personal interest in this is that this is the only thing left to have
MirBSD Ksh fully functional (potentially an up-to-date and actively maintained
sh for APE instead of the current pdksh).
