Couldn't this just be done by init(8) and /etc/ttys? Or inetd? If you
want to write your own, couldn't you use waitpid()? Or a kevent() of
EVFILT_PROC with NOTE_EXIT/NOTE_FORK? I'm not sure I see the need for
this.

I don't think we should burn our 32 bits on this. Since pids are 32 bits,
this interface will fail unpredictably.

Do these always stay an int or are there casts that could result in endian
problems?

This shows my doubt for the need for this since the NOTE_FORK is immediately
before your duplicate NOTE_STARTEXEC.
