📄 Description

Quick patch for netblue30/firejail#256

Instead of running waitpid(app) in the sandbox, run waitpid(-1) in a loop and check the return value until the original app dies.

I'm not sure you should trust me to write C code, but this patch has been running my KMail for several minutes now without eating any kittens :)
