It is indeed calling waitpid() after receiving SIGCHLD, but this shouldn't 
be a problem. Could you check if this happens also with single-fork() 
(without spawning grandchild)?

If you don't want to share your module, could you make module with minimal 
functionality which reproduces this behavior?
