>Description:
	do_posix_spawn calls cv_wait without looping on a test for a
	condition, which may cause it to return before the child is
	ready -- and potentially even to read and return an
	uninitialized error -- in the case of a spurious wakeup:

>How-To-Repeat:
	Code inspection.
>Fix:
	Yes, please!
