pgrep does not display anything.

Now it displays

Service wpa-supplicant has been stopped.
Service wpa-supplicant has been started.

again and again incessantly, one immediately after the other with no
time in between.

By the way, the network connection only failed sometimes when I tested
Guix 1.0.0, but since I started using a Guix disk image from a more
recent Guix, wpa-supplicant apparently always fails.  Strange.
