Oops, I was a bit slow on the uptake.  That flushes unreferenced ports
as well, of course.

You'll probably still want to block SIGCHLD though (when it exists),
the same as the main system() does.  I think that's to stop a slack
application handler possibly stealing the exit status, but I'm not too
well up on the subtleties of sigchld.
