[PATCH] add WCONTINUED support to wait4 syscall

From: Roland McGrath
Date: Mon Sep 27 2004 - 20:40:33 EST


POSIX specifies the new WCONTINUED flag for waitpid, not just for waitid.
I overlooked this addition when I implemented waitid. The real work was
already done to support waitid, but waitpid needs to report the results
differently. This patch adds that support.


Thanks,
Roland
