Please be sure to check the return value on these system calls.  That
is, recode the waitpid fragment as:

   while (-1 == waitpid (pid, &wstatus, 0))
     {
#ifdef EINTR
        if (errno == EINTR) continue;
#endif
#ifdef ERESTARTSYS
        if (errno == ERESTARTSYS) continue;
#endif
        break;
     }
