I'd be inclined to swap the if and while:
| while (in some idle loop or other && $death) {
| $death-- if waitpid(-1, WNOHANG);
| }
But this seems a reasonable suggestion. I've never quite figured out why the
signal handlers in perl are interruptible. This seems to be a bug, but I'm
not quite sure. Signals have never been my strong point, I normally know
enough to get by...
