It definitely doesn't deal with the fact that cleaning up pchild
before all threads terminate during graceless termination can
potentially cause all sorts of problems.

I certainly don't see any segfaults in this area anymore (which is
valuable to me since my regression tests can test other code).

I think the code I put in yesterday should be backed out, but
something else needs to change Real Soon Now to avoid the segfault.
I'll be -1 on another release otherwise (not that such an opinion
would make any difference).  I'll back it out reasonably soon (need
some lunch first) and hope for the best.
