This is very similar to the solution I arrived at when I started to see
this problem. The difference being that I set $SIG{'CHLD'} to undef
instead of commenting out the line (local $SIG{'CHLD'} = undef;).
The perlipc perldoc page suggests that if you set $SIG{'CHLD'} to
'IGNORE' then wait() will return -1. It would also appear to be setting
$? to -1 as well which is where the problem comes in. There isn't
really a reason to set $SIG{"CHLD"} to IGNORE since wait() is always
called.

This life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been an actual life, you
would have received further instructions as to what to do and where to go.
