Comment:

 If 2 processes have the same descriptor open, they //should// close
 separately, although it's technically possible that a "hang-up" message is
 sent to the server before closing which causes it to close the connection
 to the other process too (I'm not sure if / which engines do this).

 Handling any post-`fork` closing as part of the backend would at least
 allow backend maintainers to modify the behaviour if a database engine
 does work that way.

 This probably comes up more often than 4 years ago due to `manage.py test
 --parallel`, which uses `fork` (usually). Disabling pooling in tests is a
 semi-valid work-around, although no-longer fully representative.
