although DYNIX has the wait3() system call it does not seem to have any version
of waitpid. I have a parent process which spins off a whole bunch of children
and I would like to have the parent hang untill all (or the last) child exits.
I could have done this using waitpid, but that is not available. The problem w/
wait is that the parent only sleeps untill one child exits, and that is not
what I want to happen. 

Any suggestions?
