    Problem Text
    Test 3: This test calls wait3() with option set to WEXITED.
    This option is not listed as a valid option on the XOPEN wait3()
    page nor the waitpid(wait) man page to which the reader is referred.
    Therefore, we return EINVAL, which according to the man pages would
    be correct.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: exit

    TEST PURPOSE #3
    When the parent process of the calling process is not
    executing wait(), waitpid(), wait3() or waitid() and
    has not set its SA_NOCLDWAIT flag nor set SIGCHLD to
    SIG_IGN a call to void exit(int status)
    shall transform the calling process into a zombie
    process such that it shall be inactive but not deleted
    until subsequent execution of wait(), waitpid(),
    wait3() or waitid() by its parent process.
    PREP: Set SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL and clear SA_NOCLDWAIT
    PREP: Fork child
    PREP: Set child exiting event and call exit
    PREP: Wait for child to exit plus a small amount of time
    PREP: Execute /bin/ps to get child's status
    TEST: Child is a zombie
    TEST: Subsequent wait notified of termination
    TEST: Lower 8-bits of status available
    PREP: Fork child
    PREP: Set child exiting event and call exit
    PREP: Wait for child to exit plus a small amount of time
    PREP: Execute /bin/ps to get child's status
    TEST: Child is a zombie
