That is good.
Everyone else be aware that my previous response was based upon (rather
incomplete) data from a message Chet sent me off list (because I sent him
one off list, by accident really - the off list part).
I initially suspected the problem was with that code, and spent some time
chasing it before looking at the `wait -n' code itself and finding the
problem there.
