} Thanks for the investigation and the explanation.  I agree the uses of
} findproc() all appear to assume the process is still marked as running,
} since they are all about to update it.  Here's the patch I'll apply.

Reading the explanation left me wondering whether there's an additional
problem in the event that the shell is spawning processes fast enough
for the PID of a terminated-but-not-yet-reaped job to have been re-used
in a new still-running job?
