There's only one instance that is getting forked.

I also cleared all the (old) thumbnails from ~/.e/e/fileman/thumbnails
and then started EFM. Once again, a new E (only one) was *forked*. There
were no thumbnails generated... The *child* process never stopped. When
I later killed it using `kill -9`, I got the *white box*.

Now, there's only one file in the thumbs directory:

$ ls .e/e/fileman/thumbnails/
1[c2003c0000c'2000pje]21

Let me see if I can get a gdb trace. (I haven't compiled E with the '-g'
flag :)
