No-no, this should not happen, since reap_children() handles stopped
children this way:

for (;;) {
  pid = waitpid();

  if (pid is a pid of a stopped task) {
      kill(pid, SIGCONT);
      continue;
  }

  <...>
}

i.e. it makes all the stopped children continue.

So there should not be any children in 'pgroup' after
reap_children(pgroup) has finished.

This SIGSTOP-related code is added by the previous patch in the series
(waitpid13).

Thanks.
