The race is in do-while loop in wait_for(). At the start of wait_for() we

Looking at the code, there is MUST_UNBLOCK_CHLD. May it make any harm to
enable it by default?
I spent a lot of time looking at this yesterday, and I have it pretty much
fixed.  The problem is in the trap handling code, not wait_for().  The trap
problem ends up corrupting the jobs data structure, which is why wait_for
misbehaves.

Hi Chet,
Will be patch available somewhere? I checked devel branch on git. I would like to apply or backport a patch to older version.
