I'm writing a plug-in for sudo using the plugin API. Since the logging
facility of the plug-in will push data to a remote server, I want to avoid
potential blocking situations. Is it reasonable to fork() from an I/O
plugin? Obviously I can't install a handler for sigchld to reap processes
so I perceive that to be a bit of a problem right out of the gate unless
sudo already has a handler that I can count on to do that.
