/*
**  FULLWAIT -- performs a wait(II) primitive for a given child.
**
**	The wait primitive is executed as many times as needed to get
**	termination status for a given child.  The case of an interrupt
**	during the wait is handled.  No other children may die during
**	the wait.  Also, the child must die "normally", that is, as the
**	result of an exit() system call, or from an interrupt.
**
**	Parameters:
**		"child" -- the pid of the child process to wait for,
**			returned from the fork() system call.
**		"name" -- a character string representing the name of
**			the calling routine; printed on syserr's.
**	Returns:
**		The exit parameter of the child process.
