What's wrong with this ???

[Asko Husso]

The kv process must be started like this:
    supervisor:start_child(simple_supervisor, {kv, {kv, start, []},
                           permanent, 1000, worker, [kv]}).
                           
To stop the kv process use supervisor:terminate_child (plus
supervisor:delete_child if You want to get rid of it for good).

See "erl -man supervisor" for details...
