If you want the parent domain to remain paused for as long as the
forks are active, shouldn't each fork increment the pause count on
creation and decrement it when the fork is destroyed?
How can you assure no other operation or entity has incremented
controller_pause_count temporary and is likely to decrement it at some
point while forks are still active?
Thanks, Roger.
