 > Can you try modifying lib/db/dbmi_client/shutdown.c to use G_wait()
 instead of _cwait()? _cwait() is only defined as working with process IDs
 returned from the _spawn functions, which are no longer used.

 Using G_wait() instead of _cwait() works for me in trunk with
 g.copy,g.remove and v.in.ogr. G_wait() is not available in 6.4, although
 in 6.4 the _spawn functions have been eliminated as well. Has r42668 been
 an incomplete backport to 6.4? G_wait() has been introduced in trunk with
 r40648, i.e. before the backport to 6.4. Do the small differences in
 lib/gis/spawn.c between trunk and 6.4 really make sense? From your comment
 and my tests I understand that if the _spawn functions are eliminated,
 _cwait must be eliminated (replaced with G_wait()) as well.
