I had a small bug in my own code closing fds, but there is still some state 
mysteriously held by the global `PDispatcher`. If I deregister everything 
properly, and close all the relevant file-descriptors, there is still a problem 
with new "forks". I solved the problem completely by adding a 
`setGlobalDispatcher()` function to **asyncdispatch**. See 
[https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/5782](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/5782)

That is a very important addition to the standard library. Without it, we 
really cannot call `posix.fork()` at all after using any async calls.
