POSIX says that after fork() succeeds you get a child process with only one thread running. Trying to make sure that only the right resources are shared by the child is, um, challenging. > AFAIK on Linux, there is no such thing as a process, > everything is a thread, so forking() just clones a thread, > which means the other thread keeps running, but I'm not > sure. Recent Linux is POSIX-compliant with respect to the separation between threads and processes, years ago each thread had a separate pid and various things were broken. By which I mean, even more broken than POSIX requires. > I am guessing when the original process exits, > the demux thread is getting an error return from > kevent on process exit..
