rS295012: kqueue EVFILT_PROC: avoid collision between NOTE_CHILD and NOTE_EXIT
Summary

NOTE_CHILD and NOTE_EXIT return something in kevent.data: the parent
pid (ppid) for NOTE_CHILD and the exit status for NOTE_EXIT.
Do not let the two events be combined, since one would overwrite
the other's data.

On the surface I think this looks good. Keeping NOTE_CHILD and NOTE_EXIT separate is definitely the right approach to avoid losing data.

I would probably say that a pipe() is best for a test, even if it is more work than a bare sleep().

Use a pipe, instead of sleeping, for process synchronization.

Fix a copy-and-paste-o.

Agreed. In fact, the code that found this uses a pipe.
