Subject: pid statuses are persisted
The PID_STATUS hash persists the exit status of a pid. This becomes problematic if a pid is reused by the system. A call to pidStatus will return the exit value of the old child process instead of testing to see if the new process has actually completed and returning its exit value. The pidStatus method should probably delete the hash entry before returning the status of the process.
