"wait" just reaps an already zombie process. So if that returns,
$program_id either already exited and is zombie, or wait
returned an error.

So before my patch, the "wait -i" would also return immediately,
but it just happened that the "kill -15 $pgid" etc. commands kept
running in the background and ended up killing the processes
after the 5 / 10 seconds sleeps. Correct?
How come the "wait -i" returns before _any_ process is
dead/zombie, as you say? Did wait return an error?
I suspect that's something to do with taking the open path
instead of spawn, due to redirection.
And I wonder why the "kill -2 $pgid | kill -2 $pid" command didn't
cause "cat" to exit?
Thanks,
