OK, I'm still missing something. The dtrace script terminates without
intervention, right?
Is there any reason why you can't just
system('dtrace -s pageTrace.d > traceOut.txt');
I'm not sure why you're forking.
If you /do/ need to fork the parent process should probably wait for
the child to terminate using waitpid() so that it gets to reap the
child correctly.
But more context would be good please :)
