-/* Advice about children from Peter:
-Better way: before the fork, make a pipe. In the child close the
-+reading end. Make the writing end close-on-exec. If the dup2 or exec fails,
-+write the errno value. In the parent, close the writing end. Now you can read
-+from it. If you get an errno value from the pipe, the process failed and you
-+know why. If you get EOF, the exec succeeded.
-
-<Senji> So, close on exec only closes if exec isn't going to return then?
-<Diziet> qu: I wouldn't bother with all that with pipes. Remember that the
-+runtime system can still make exec fail when it's `too late'.
-<Senji> Diz - I would rather have a coherant error message than 'child failed'
-<Diziet> The child, if it fails to exec, should print a message to stderr
-+(giving errno and what it was trying to execute, most likely), and exit
-+nonzero.
-<Diziet> It should exit calling _exit.
