That's from graph.c (slightly cleaned-up):

  /* parent */

  wait_result = waitpid(fork_result, &status, 0);

  if (wait_result == (pid_t) -1) {
      traceEvent(CONST_TRACE_ERROR, "ERROR: GDC_out_pie(002) - wait
failed/interrupted");
  } else if (wait_result != fork_result) {
      traceEvent(CONST_TRACE_ERROR, "ERROR: GDC_out_pie(003) - unexpected
child termination");
  } else if (status) {
      traceEvent(CONST_TRACE_ERROR, "ERROR: GDC_out_pie(004) - child
abnormal termination");
  } else {
      return;
  }

>From the man page:

       The waitpid function suspends execution of the current process until
a
       child as specified by the pid argument has exited, or until a signal
is
       delivered whose action is to terminate the current process or to call
a
       signal  handling  function.  If a child as requested by pid has
already
       exited by the time of the call  (a  so-called  "zombie"  process),
the
       function  returns  immediately.  Any system resources used by the
child
       are freed.
...
RETURN VALUE
       The process ID of the child which exited, or zero if WNOHANG  was
used
       and  no child was available, or -1 on error (in which case errno is
set
       to an appropriate value).

Make it look like this:

      traceEvent(CONST_TRACE_ERROR, "ERROR: GDC_out_pie(002) - wait
failed/interrupted (%d - %s)",
               errno,
               (errno == ECHILD ? "ECHILD" :
                  errno == EINVAL ? "EINVAL" :
                  errno == EINTR  ? "EINTR"  : "unrecognized code"));

so we can see which code you're getting.
