If was found during stress-test run that a test may hang by 60 seconds.
It supposedly happens because SIGCHILD was received before sleep has
started.

Fix by looping by smaller chunks, checking $exited after each of them.
Then lost SIGCHILD would not cause longer delay than 1 second.

Submitting as proper patch. Note: I believe it does not relate to other issues
discussed in this thread.

I tried this fix and it made no difference to the hang on NonStop. I do not think this fixes the root cause as sleep was never an issue and SIGCHLD was not missed in any test I conducted. Maybe on another platform it is required.

Correct, as I said it should not be related.

Ah, of course.  If SIGCHLD interrupts, sets $existed in the handler,
then we won't go back to sleep.  But if the signal came before the
sleep starts, we spend full 60 seconds here before we check $exited.

Makes sense.
