When the parent process is killed, the child process will be an child
process of init, not a zombie, and init calls waitpid() when it
terminates (by SIGTERM, for example). I agree that this should be
improved, but I do not think removing fallback to fork(2) is a good
idea if PROCDESC is still a kernel option. Reverting will not solve
the problem that it does not work with a kernel without PROCDESC.
