This can be very easily triggered by adding a sleep(1) before
the wait4() on a PID-starved system: the reaper thread would wait
for a child before its entry appeared, letting old entries accumulate:

Thread 1 "zed" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
By employing this wider lock, we atomise [wait, remove] and [fork, add]:
slowing down the reaper thread now just causes some zombies
to accumulate until it can get to them
