Hi Tim,

The -1 is a process which has no socketpair initialized. I recently add the
master process in this list, so that's probably this one. You should have
exactly one close(-1) per worker. It is not harmful but we should fix it.

We can safely add an if > -1 instead of an assert there. So you can edit your
patch if you want :-)

By the way, the right option is '-S' and not '-Sa', I know it's not yet on the
documentation file but that's the way it's documented in the usage message.

Thanks,
