That's pretty much the conclusion I came to.  In the application I'm writing
(that got me going down this road in the first place) I'm just bailing on
that process.  But, I should probably exit the whole app.

But, beyond that, some simple exit handling makes the blocking sub-process
work great for making a parallel TCP server.
