I don't think so.  The value of $? is set only on occasions such as
wait, system and backticks (``).  So if you don't mix system, `` and
other subprocesses, you can trust $? was set by the last Process.wait,
which returns PID.

Mixing trap("CHLD") with system and backticks is not a good idea
anyway.
