  | Just encountered a case where wait(4) + WNOHANG do not fail with
  | expected ECHILD when there is no process to wait.

See man 2 wait ...

     When the WNOHANG option is specified and no processes wish to report
     status, wait4() returns a process id of 0.

If you specified WNOHANG it is not an error that there are no processes
available, there are just no processes...
