Will do.

Sounds good.

Currently, with my modified kernel, it is failing (probebly expectedly:
the waitpid(WNONHANG) that is done in the parent when the child has
stopped, before exiting (before the debugger has allowed it to exit).
Everything else (the t_wait tests, the rest of t_ptrace - at least up
to where it fails, and Nicolas' wait4 (to which I have added a whole
bunch more cases testing wait4() (and implicitly wait() wait3() and waitpid())
and wait6() and waitid() (while waitid() is implemented via wait6()
its return values are not identical, so I thought that worth explicitly
testing) and all of those cases work (the modified wait4.c also now
creates a child, waits(WNOHANG) before it exits, and then waits for it
to exit using (one of) wait4() wait6() or waitid() - all of those tests
seem to be doing what we want.
So, it is just the stopped process (when we are not the debugger) that
is failing now.
I believe I see what is happening there, but have to work out a clean way
to fix it (what the test is expecting is what I believe should happen.)
