Bug 1253 (http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1253)
notes that we've made an exception to waitpid behavior
due to missing support, but that that support is now
in place.  Here's the text from the bug:


Currently, waitpid states:

waitpid() is as specified in ISO POSIX (2003), but with
differences as listed below:


Need not support WCONTINUED or WIFCONTINUED

Implementations need not support the XSI optional functionality
of WCONTINUED() or WIFCONTINUED().



This has been in the kernel since 2.6.9 (2.6.12 for PPC* and S390*)



Should we remove the "need not support" wording for LSB 3.2,
or should this wait until a later release?
