when I asked that question last fall, when I was trying to figure out  
how the VM process forked by the browser plugin would terminate
if the browser crashed, someone mentioned.

		if (getppid() == 1)

if getppid returns 1, then the original parent process has gone  
away.   I added this check to the VM when it knows it's running as a
subtask of the browser and as a chore we do every couple of seconds.
