The retry added in 4c5efd4548 has never worked
properly, as releasing the pid the first time causes it to be -1 and thus
waiting for a random child on retry. While there is a good chance that this
really catches the crashed worker, this is by no means guaranteed, and it could
just as well have caught different restarting worker. Wait synchronously
instead. The worst possible outcome is a hang instead of an error message if
the worker manages to close its pipe but then fail to exit, which is not
supposed to happen in the first place.
