Subject: [PATCH] Reap child in case where exception has been thrown
If open3 throws due to an issue such as an exec failure, the caller
cannot know the child PID to wait for. Therefore it is our
responsibility to reap it.
Also update POD, since on some platforms exec failures now ARE raised as
exceptions (since perlbug #72016).
