sigproc.cc (proc_subproc): make -j hang


While trying to analyze my own strace example of a "make -j hang" ala this
ugly thread:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00376.html

My last strace output from the hung make process was:
   69 1576822 [proc] make 6724 proc_subproc: pid 7524[0], reparented old
hProcess 0x698, new 0x63C

So, looking there, I stumbled onto the following:

2004-03-08  Brian Ford  <ford@vss.fsi.com>

	* sigproc.cc (proc_subproc): Only call sync_proc_subproc->release()
	once for exec().

I'm not sure this is a bug, and it doesn't appear to fix the make hang I
was looking at, but I thought it deserved a quick review by someone who
knows that code :).  Thanks.
