Description:
------------
The "running" field of the status array returned by proc_get_status() is always TRUE after the execution of the command is finished. As the manual says, running should be "TRUE if the process is still running, FALSE if it has terminated". What is strange is that at some point of the command execution, it's false. Maybe it's value is the opposite of what the manual says?

Reproduce code:
---------------
(Best run from the command line)

$handle = proc_open("ls", array(2 => array("pipe", "r")), $pipes);

while (true) {
	$status = proc_get_status($handle); 				var_dump($status["running"]);
	sleep(1);
}

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
<output of the command>
bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(false)
...

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
<output of the command>
bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(true)
...

It really looks that proc_get_status() doesn't take into account the result of waitpid() and still returns TRUE even when child process is already dead.

Wez, take a look at the patch, plz.
