    Log Message:
    Add node interrupt flag checking to *nix external() execution of stdio progs

    and abort the execution of the program when the node is interrupted. This should allow more cases were the node interrupt flag can be used to gracefully disconnect a user running a DOS or native (stdio) program on *nix.

    We have this functionality already in the Windows version of external()

    Disable pause when running an external program.

    Not sure if this is from the terminal overhaul or from the unicode
    support, but passthru_thread calls rputs() which calls cp437_out()
    which calls outchar() which calls check_pause().

    Also, put an EINTR wrapper around waidpid()... that wasn't the
    problem I was seeing, but it's a theoretically possible one.

    Log Message:
    Fix error in 35d530c3a4e

    Instead of looping while waitpid() returned an error due to a signal,
    it was looping *until* waitpid() returned an error due to a signal.

    This could cause an infinite loop on *nix systems after an external
    exited if waitpid() was returning an error for some other reason.
