OK, as you already know this isn't a very good way of doing things
but it does tickle a bug and I've managed to get it to happen.
With a bit of luck, I think this fixes it. On attaching to the
shell I happened to notice that there were two jobs in the job table
with the same process number. One was marked as done, and the other
wasn't: the shell was waiting for the second job to finish.
Further probing confirmed my suspicion that the shell had decided
to fish out the PID for a job that was already done and mark it
as, well, even more well done. So the newly done job never got
cleared and the shell waited for it for ever. This would only happen if
you had lots and lots and lots of processes so that there was a chance
that the process numbers would wrap before an entry in the table was
cleared (an essentially random process depending on when children
died)---not something that happens with most programmes.
The fix is not to fish out jobs that are already done. I think the use
of findproc() is restricted to occasions when you've just found out, or
want to find out, something new about a process and hence ignoring those
attached to done and dusted jobs is OK.
I've tidied up zhandler() because the comments were all over the place
and I took against the way a goto in a for loop was written, and I've
tidied up the STAT_ definitions because I can't do powers of two in my
head well enough. The only actual fix is the new test in the first hunk,
so you can ignore the rest until I commit it.
I'm extremely relieved this wasn't a horrible race.
