Attached is an updated version of this patch---updated for safety,
basically. Instead of having a global variable LyX::IAmAChild, I've put
a static private variable in ForkedProcess, where it can be read and
written by the fork() routine, and then read via a static function. That
way, nothing else can mess with it.
I'll commit Tuesday unless there are any concerns.
I think it is a good temporary solution but as I said in my other reply
I don't think this will scale to multiple child processes running at the
same time. It's a pity that fork() is not available on Windows, maybe
it's time to introduces thread, even though I don't like them very much...
