Yes, it is not guaranteed that every `s48_note_external_event' gets
handled immediately.  That's why external code has to collect multiple
external events and provide a mechanism for Scheme to obtain *all*
occurred events that have not yet been obtained before.

I took a quick look at your patch and I think you should try the
following:

- In `process-terminated-children' you have to collect all terminated
  children, e.g. put them in a list.

- In `really-wait-for-child-process' you have to obtain that list of
  terminated children after `wait-for-external-event' returns.  Then,
  process every terminated child by unblocking previously called
  `wait-for-child-process', for example via the placeholder in
  process-id.

This way you should not lose any terminated child.
