Hi,

There are some strange things with fork() and python 1.5.2 going
on here. 

I do have some main program which is basically

while 1:
    fork()

The program forks under certain conditions and works as expected
but somewhen the main process dies even though it is in the
while 1: loop ... there's no error message ... did anyone
see anything similar ? the program worked fine with 1.5.1 
(this is all on a linux box running rh 5.2 and kernel 2.2.6-ac1)

Martin
