>Description:

	The status returned from wait3 is a compound value that must be
	interpreted via WIFEXITED and WIFSIGNALED macros. inetd is currently
	treating it as a pure status value and assuming WIFEXITED is always
	true. This can be very misleading and confuses debugging, because
	the debug message is wrongly reporting status. See man page for
	wait3.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Enabled fingerd. Try "finger @localhost", causing a "must provide
	username" error. You will cause this to appear in syslog:

	inetd[204]: /usr/libexec/fingerd[65087]: exit status 0x100

	Here you can see the problem. The exit was caused by a signal, and
	wait3's status does not have the exit status -- it has the signal
	value. The exit status logged is blatantly wrong. See attached
	patch; it works for both -stable and -current.
