Don't know of any. But I haven't implemented it yet. If it's the only problem, perhaps the Emacs code should be written to run on older glibs, where it'll ignore child-process stops and continues. If this turns out to be a real problem we can disable it (i.e., use the current godawful workaround) on older glibs. But anyway, the idea is to prevent this from being a blocking issue for Emacs.
