If my plain crashes then there might be a bit of a problem :-). With
Darren the problem also is that he is still there, just doesn't have
time to work on ctags. You can't take over a project if the author is
still there and doesn't release it. And it's not so easy to give away
your baby.
Well, there's always the following algorithm to consider:
if (bram_is_unreasonable) {
int new_child = fork();
if (new_child) {
// Let Bram continue in his thought-process
return;
}
// Ah, this is now our little baby

}
Peace.
n.o.w.
