+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] 33531 with additions: retain status of exited background
+ jobs.
+
+Add linked list of unwaited-for background jobs.
+Truncate at value of _SC_CHILD_MAX discarding oldest.
+Remove old lastpid_status mechanism for latest exited process only.
+Slightly tighten safety of permanently allocated linked lists so
+that this doesn't compromise signal handling.

++It is possible to wait for recent processes (specified by process ID,
++not by job) that were running in the background even if the process has
++exited.  Typically the process ID will be recorded by capturing the
++value of the variable tt($!) immediately after the process has been
++started.  There is a limit on the number of process IDs remembered by
++the shell; this is given by the value of the system configuration
++parameter tt(CHILD_MAX).  When this limit is reached, older process IDs
++are discarded, least recently started processes first.
++
++Note there is no protection against the process ID wrapping, i.e. if the
++wait is not executed soon enough there is a chance the process waited
++for is the wrong one.  A conflict implies both process IDs have been
++generated by the shell, as other processes are not recorded, and that
++the user is potentially interested in both, so this problem is intrinsic
++to process IDs.
