    Problem Summary TSD4U.00061 The test may fail if waitid(WNOHANG) returns -1 and sets errno to ECHILD.
    Problem Text
    The test may fail if waitid(WNOHANG) returns -1 and sets errno
    to ECHILD.

    This test assumes that when a waitid() call with the WNOHANG option
    set is made by a process with no children, waitid will return 0.

    Our implementation returns -1 and sets errno to ECHILD in this
    case.

    We believe the spec is silent about this set of circumstances and
    that either behavior is acceptable.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: waitid

    TEST PURPOSE #16
    A call to int waitid(idtype_t idtype, id_t id,
    siginfo_t *infop, int options) when options contains
    the WNOHANG flag and there are no children to wait for
    shall return immediately.
    PREP: fork() a child that pauses
    PREP: waitid() called with P_PID and WNOHANG set
    ERROR: waitid failed, errno = 10(ECHILD - No child processes)
    16 FAIL
