That's ECHILD.

It seems we are looking for a process that is not on our list of
watched child processes.  How could that happen?

Can you look at the contents of the child_procs array, and see if the
process we are looking for is there?  Also, what is the value of
child_proc_count when waitpid is called?

If the above doesn't show the light, can you please compile w32proc.c
with -DFULL_DEBUG, and see what Emacs says about processes it launches
and reaps when you run Emacs under GDB?

Thanks.
