[PATCH] waitid si_code regression

From: Roland McGrath
Date: Sat Mar 08 2008 - 14:42:32 EST



In commit ee7c82da830ea860b1f9274f1f0cdf99f206e7c2, the magic (short)
cast when storing si_code was lost in wait_task_stopped. This leaks
the in-kernel CLD_* values that do not match what userland expects.
