If it makes (haha) you feel any better, you know that perl wrapper I mentioned? I get to rewrite it nearly from scratch. Turns out the guy who wrote it thought that basically doing @foo=`$command`; prettyprint @foo;, making the wrapper the head of the process group, and passing signals to the group via %SIG{FOO} => sub { kill -$$ }; was good enough...but the zombies say otherwise. Yeah, I signed on to a test position to learn to use fork, exec, and %SIG{} in perl. Really I did. *headdesk*. If nothing else, misery loves company, right?
