[tor-commits] [tlsdate/debian-master] Fix subprocess watching.



commit 691a39f31465c3118a31d3c8be580cbbaf603578
Author: elly <elly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Jun 21 12:01:18 2013 -0400

    Fix subprocess watching.
    
    Currently, the subprocess watching code polls with a delay between attempts.
    Instead, introduce wait_with_timeout() and use it, simplifying this code.
