[bug #49014] Zombies in parallel builds with pselect code

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #49014 (project make):

A fix for bug #51159 has been pushed to the Git repository.

I have a strong suspicion that this is the same problem we're seeing here and
that fix will also fix this issue.

Knowing the problem I thought I might be able to conjure a scenario to force a
repro case for this bug on my system, and indeed I could easily construct
scenarios where the read token was stolen, but I failed to reproduce this bug
(make always made progress eventually and completed; there were no outstanding
zombies) so I can't be sure.

However, if people who do see this can apply the change in Git SHA
b552b0525198 to their versions and retry with pselect() enabled I would
appreciate it.
