Yup, the issue is well solved. :)

I would just want to add one thing. Isn't the current solution a little
bit error prone. I mean, instead of having to check before each call to
ORTE_UPDATE_EXIT_STATUS, whether the low 8 bits are indeed non-zero,
wouldn't it be wiser to have ORTE_UPDATE_EXIT_STATUS do the check?
