Jecel,

Thanks very much for trying this and for the feedback. I guess it's
about time I replaced my ten year old computer so I can test this myself.
I am guessing that a possible culprit is signal delivery for the SIGCHLD
handler, I wonder if that might behave a little differently on a
multi-core machine ...

Thanks again,

Dave
