Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release

Description:
`wait -n` sometimes returns with status code 127 even though there are
unwaited-for children.

Repeat-By:
The following script does finish after a while:

waitjobs() {
    local status=0
    while true; do
    local code=0; wait -n || code=$?
        ((code == 127)) && break
        ((!code)) || status=$code
    done
    return $status
}

# Eventually finishes:
while true; do (
    true &
    false &
    waitjobs
) && break; done
