Description:
------------
From php7.4.11 to php7.4.20, when execute pcntl_fork(), the forked child process will not terminate. 

Execute this line:

php -r "\pcntl_fork(); if(posix_getpid()){pcntl_wait(\$st);} echo 'exit'.PHP_EOL;"
and shell will hung.

This dose not happen in under PHP7.4.10, nor in above PHP8.0+. Tested on Centos7 and Ubuntu16.04.

There is no related info I can find out.

Test script:
---------------
php -r "\pcntl_fork(); if(posix_getpid()){pcntl_wait(\$st);} echo 'exit'.PHP_EOL;"

Expected result:
----------------
exit
exit


Actual result:
--------------
exit

I can't reproduce on Ubuntu 18.04.

If pcntl_wait is indeed waiting then that means the process has a child, and I don't see how your -r code could create a third (grand)child process. While it hangs, how many "php" processes are running on the system?

It ended up being the grpc module, when this was disabled it works.
