Aha. My testing was off, this makes more sense now.
The problem is indeed epoll-backend related. The problem is that
after the fork, the subprocess shares the epoll fd with the parent
process, and these both refer to the same kernel epoll structure.
Ordinarily, you would

Hi, Christophe! I just tried your code and found out that the bug
does not appear on OSX 10.5 at all, but does appear on Linux whether
it's using the epoll mechanism or not

Hello Nick,
In theory, this approach is supposed to work: what problems are you
seeing in the master process? (event_base_free sounds like what you
want if you do not want to use the original event_base in the
subprocess. )
If I understand right, you start with a master

Hello all,
I've a master process which defines an event base, and adds some events
to it
to handle signals (sigterm, sighup, ...)
This master process creates child processes with fork(), and these processes
also define an event base with signals (they do different things compared to
the master
