See tokio-rs/tokio#3520
and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/1866#note_1310871

This is a workaround for tokio installing a global SIGCHLD handler,
which GLib also does. It's then a Highlander situation.

Work around this by using the blocking API in std which internally
just uses waitpid().
