The relevant part of the output seems to be in lines 446-686, with the
output from two processes (expr.exe[2656] and bash.exe[2384])
interspersed.  FWIW, expr.exe does seem to exit with the right exit code,
but is later zombified, which doesn't sound quite right.  Unfortunately, I
can't really tell from the output exactly where the problem may be --
perhaps it'll suggest something to CGF or others who know fork() code.
HTH,
