//Since we _guarantee_ that this isn't the case (the child calls setpgid before it calls SIGSTOP, and
//the child was created in the same session as us), it seems that EPERM is being thrown because of an
//caching issue - the call to tcsetpgrp isn't seeing the newly-created process group just yet. On this
//developer's test machine (WSL running Linux 4.4.0), EPERM does indeed disappear on retry. The important
//thing is that we can guarantee the process isn't going to exit while we wait (which would cause us to
//possibly block indefinitely).
