There are probably still some daemons in this code.  I've been trying
the test suite for perl-Test-SharedFork since this is one of the few
things that still fail (it's not been critical since it only affects
_testing_ of a single Perl distribution I use and this one is not in
Cygwin yet).

Up until the -0.5 test version the tests were mainly failing by
recognizing only one half of the fork (I don't know if it's the parent
or child one) as successful and hanging at the point where the child
should get reaped.  You could ^C your way back to the shell, but the
hanging processes could only be cleared by killing the process from the
windows side (/bin/kill -f).  If the child was killed, the parent
process actually continued from the hang.  That was racy in the sense
that once in a while those tests would actually succeed, especially when
run interactively and hang up at some mostly random point during the
test sequence.

With the new -06 version, things are more consistent:
both the child and the parent hang after the first test in the loop and
^C doesn't work at all.  Plus it already fails at t/01_simple instead of
at t/02_fork_method.


Regards,
Achim.
