    Bug 1370027: Part 1 - Cleanly handle a subprocess child being reaped by NSPR. r=aswan
    
    The first time any other code in the parent process uses NSPR (usually via
    nsIProcess) to spawn a new process, it spawns a thread to contuously wait for
    any child process to exit. This thread winds up reaping our child processes
    before we get the chance to wait for them, which leads us to continuously poll
    for them to exit.
    
    We don't have a good way to handle this, but checking the error status of
    waitpid at least prevents us from failing catastrophically.
