Hi Henning, IMHO it's not invasive (in fact I've seen similar pipe
mechanism in other servers).
Please take a look to the patches (is very few code).
However note that Marius has fixed a small bug (a fd closed twice by
the main process) and has also added a select() to allow timeout when
the parent process reads from the pipe.

Thanks a lot.
