Strange; it took me about 5 seconds to locate the wait(2)
manual page for Open Unix 8.0 from the Caldera Web site:
"If wait returns due to a stopped or terminated child process,
the process ID of the child is returned to the calling process.
Otherwise, wait returns -1 and sets errno to identify the error."
"ECHILD: The calling process has no existing unwaited-for child
processes."
