waitpid() now handles externally spawned pids correctly;
fixes for backtick/wait/waitpid failures on Windows 9x

these changes make the pid returned by process functions on
Windows 9x always positive by clearing the high bit (which
is always set on Win9x); pseudo-process PIDs are likewise
always negative now on Win9x (just as on NT/2000)
