What happens if more than 64 sub-processes exit while we are under
block_input?  64 is not such a large number, and we sometimes
block_input for prolonged times.

In any case, the 64 thing (or any other fixed value) is against the
GNU Coding Standards that frown on arbitrary limits.

Frankly, if this is what we must do, then this branch is not very
interesting.  Too bad, I thought this was a promising development in
Emacs.
