Not a bug!

While Hinko hasn't detailed what action he's trying to perform, I did
something like this one for temp file cleanup by fork()ing a child
process which then monitored it's parent.  When the parent exits,
the client does it's thing and exits as well.  This works even
for abnormal termination of the parent.
