Heh, I once got yelled at because I put siginfo in there... :)
If this time it's acceptable it might be worth considering replacing
some of the duplicated fields if possible. But again, on a suboptimal
device because of vacation.

Just to repeat what I said in the earlier thread: if I'm not misreading
this - I have to do this on a suboptimal device because of vacation -
then there's a behavioral change for what fields are initialized and
what additional fields (if any) are zeroed between a __WCHILDSIGINFO
request and a regular waitid() request. I'm a) not sure we want this and
b) we should document it.
