I now have a patch that compiles cleanly, and should completely remove the
pipe_of_death. The basic idea is that everything is done through signals,
using the SIGWAIT logic. As for waking threads up from apr_poll, that is
done by connecting to the socket from the server itself, and then
immediately closing the socket.
This is completely untested, and I am too tired of looking at computers to
continue. I will test the patch tomorrow and hopefully post tomorrow.
This should solve all the problems discussed today.
The idea for the patch came in a conversation with Greg Ames earlier
today, so he deserves the share the credit for the patch. :-)
