And persistent_waitpid() to recover the information from the last run.
I'm not a fan of this new API, because it looks like a workaround
for a problem that should have been solved in a cleaner way. But if
we can't avoid it, please also add a paragraph to

This breaks the NO_PTHREADS build because cmd is undeclared. Perhaps
