I promised Eli to shut up, but it once again occurred to me that the
sigchld_handler is only called _IF_ SIGCHLD is defined.

That's true even on MS-Windows (which does define SIGCHLD), although
it uses an indirect method to call the signal handler (see w32proc.c).

Since the sigchld_handler is only installed if SIGCHLD is defined,
it will only ever be called (to cleanup deleted_pid_list) if
SIGCHLD is defined.

So it still seems wrong to put anything on deleted_pid_list unless
SIGCHLD is defined ...

And sigchld_handler should be conditioned by #ifdef SIGCHLD.


Sorry that I'm going round in circles (perhaps my brain in an infinite loop :-)
