check that the number pseudo children doesn't exceed
MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS, which is currently 64 (avoids overflowing
the WaitForMultipleObjects() limit that would cause wait()
to crash)

wait() and waitpid() could potentially be rewritten to use
more than one thread to do the waiting to eliminate this
limitation
