Workaround for os.waitpid() throwing an OSError on SIGINT.

When SIGINT (``Ctrl+C``) is received when inside a blocking
os.waitpid(), OSError is thrown, effectively cancelling the wait.

However, to facilitate a "warm shutdown", as we intend, Ctrl+C is
perfectly allowed and we want to keep waiting for the child.  Therefore,
we perform a trick here, catching OSError, checking whether its cause
was SIGINT (errno == EINTR), and only in that case, loop to os.waitpid()
again.
