Synopsis: [PATCH][bin] xargs(1) incorrect pointer passed to waitchildren function

Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Take.

This looks useful for standards/165155. I think the "race" between
vfork/_exit/waitpid(WNOHANG) will always work as expected, however,
because of the semantics of vfork and how the FreeBSD kernel signals
_exit->vfork and _exit->waitpid at the same time during exit1.
