I mentioned DBusWatch because the documentation of
dbus_connection_get_socket/dbus_connection_get_unix_fd says "DO NOT
read or write to the file descriptor, or try to select() on it; use
DBusWatch for main loop integration."  For your purpose, doing
select() on the file/socket descriptor in wait_reading_process_output
(in process.c) is most important.
