I had it in mind too, but I didn't dare to name it. :-) On NixOS, the build daemon ends up waiting until the "sleep 999" terminate, which is annoying, so we have applied Neil's patch that uses "read" instead of "sleep": https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs/development/interpreters/guile/popen-zombie.patch For a discussion, see: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/7078 Thanks, Ludo'.
