I don't think it solve this issue because I don't believe this is runit bug.
After trying last patch for 1.7.2 (which try to do waitpid() every 5
seconds, no matter is SIGCHLD was received or not), I 99.9% sure this bug
is outside runit - and switching to sysvinit won't solve it.

But I should try to do this - just to be able to return to gentoo devs and
say: I've same bug with sysvinit - NOW you'll try to fix it, or not?
The problem with this is what I use custom /etc/runit/{1,2,3} files, and
don't use /etc/init.d/* scripts at all. So, switching to sysvinit will not
be ease.
