Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:42 mmetz]:

 > 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.

 40648 changed a lot of other stuff. Specifically, it replaced the existing
 G_popen() function (which was just a wrapper around popen()) with a new
 function based around G_spawn_ex(), and changed everything which was using
 the previous G_popen() function accordingly.

 It was at this point that the need for G_wait() was discovered, so it was
 added as part of the same changeset (r40648).

 6.4 still uses the old G_popen() function and 6.5 uses popen() directly,
 so most of r40648 cannot be back-ported. But the changes to
 lib/gis/spawn.c can and should be.

 > Do the small differences in lib/gis/spawn.c between trunk and 6.4 really
 make sense?

 No; that file should be sync'd from trunk to 6.x.
