If asynchronous messages are a problem then you can explicitly call
tst_reap_children() after fork. If you use SAFE_WAITPID then you need to
check the exit status manually, it won't get checked later by the call
to tst_reap_children in tst_test.c. Because the child process has
already been reaped by waitpid.

I don't have a strong opinion on whether asynchronous messages are a
problem.
