This patch ensures that waitcmd never blocks unless there are outstanding jobs. This could otherwise trigger a hang if children were created prior to the shell coming into existence, or if there are backgrounded children of other kinds (e.g., a here- document). Fixes: 6c691b3e5099 ("jobs: Only clear gotsigchld when waiting...")
