Oh, sorry. Without the -n that is.

bash -c 'set +m; seconds=1; for (( i=0;i<32;i++ )); do exit ${i} & done;
sleep ${seconds}; for (( i=0;i<32;i++ )); do wait -p pid; e=${?}; echo
"$(printf %3u ${i}) pid ${pid} exit ${e}"; done;'
bash -c 'set -m; seconds=1; for (( i=0;i<32;i++ )); do exit ${i} & done;
sleep ${seconds}; for (( i=0;i<32;i++ )); do wait -p pid; e=${?}; echo
"$(printf %3u ${i}) pid ${pid} exit ${e}"; done;'
