[MPlayer-users] Slave Command "run" doesn't reap forks

There is already this in the code:

#ifndef __MINGW32__
    signal(SIGCHLD, child_sighandler);
#endif

#ifndef __MINGW32__
static void child_sighandler(int x)
{
    pid_t pid;
    do {
        pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, WNOHANG);
    } while (pid > 0);
}
#endif

So zombies should be reaped.

(As a side note, setting SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN would have the same effect.)
