Hmm, how about solving the problem that the daemon is unresponsive instead ? If you separate it from the rest of the framework, the code will be simple, small, and won't break easily because of some unrelated changes. If you mlockall, you're immune to out of memory conditions or a file system failure. If you raise the scheduling priority high enough, you'll win even against fork bombs. - Werner
