The parent should be waiting for the child process. If it shouldn't wait
for the command, then the child process should spawn a grandchild
process, after closing the file descriptors. This is how the text editor
I use actually works (more or less. In fact, the way to run a process it
won't wait for is to run it as a background shell command. If you STOP
the shell itself, the editor will be stuck waiting.)
