Now for the fun part (signals).
Actually, no. I thought fork/exec would be a real mess (as did Tom), but Claudio has done an excellent job of producing a minimal patch. The work isn't done yet, but this small patch has taken us much closer, so I assume signals will be even easier.
Well, it's speculation on both our parts :-). ISTM we'll need an explicit event loop to check the shmem (or whatever we use to simulate signals) every so often - maybe that will be easy, I don't know - I'm interested to see what turns up. (Of course, if we were threaded we'd just need a thread to watch for the event ...)
cheers
