code.

+childinfo_t is a union that contains both signed (error) and unsigned
+(threadid) members. Thus a large threadid could appear as a negative error
+value, which will cause unexpected failures.
+
+childinfo_t should be changed to a struct, but it could potentially affect the
+performance. So we keep it as a union but only check error against -1. There is
+still a chance of false alarm but it's small.
