replacing the wait call by waitpid(-1,&ret,0) as was suggested in  
tech-pkg fixed this issue for me on linux x86_64
However, i have no idea of why this works, of why it wasn't working  
before.
in wait.h, waitpid is explicitly defined to take int* as second  
argument, while wait contains a trick to allow union wait *, but this  
should in the end allow int*
