> {{libhdfs}} may create threads or initialize internal JNI data structures
> when it is used. So we should be careful to {{daemonize()}} before
> initializing {{libhdfs}}, not after.
> Unfortunately, fuse_dfs is doing just this -- initializing libhdfs in its
> {{main}} function, prior to calling {{fuse_main}} which does a {{daemonize}}.
> {{daemonize()}} does not preserve threads, because it is implemented by
> {{fork()}}ing and then continuing execution in the child and allowing the
> parent to {{exit()}}.
