That's very likely the case. So instead of becoming defunct, the fork
takes a bathroom break and then comes back. Awesome.
It's also worth noting that about half the time this happens, I get the
message "Could not establish connection to Steam servers" in the fork's
console when it comes back to life, but this does not seem to affect
anything (the fork still gets players and works as expected).
