					Why status1 here?

					can't we just pass a dummy
					char buf; and size 1 here?

					It's not being written to
					anyways.

This sleep here has to be replaced by a proper synchronization given
that it's here to make sure both of the readers sleep on the pipe we
should:

* Use checkpoints to make sure both of the children have managed
  to get before the SAFE_READ().

* The the parent should use the TST_PROCESS_STATE_WAIT() to make sure
  both of the chidlren are sleeping

We should just use waitpid with -1 as a pid here and WNOHANG twice,
because if one of the children hangs it's not guaranteed in any way
which one would that be.
