Can I assume that you add a "&" on the shell line forking the child? Hmm. I
guess you must or your parent program wouldn't continue operation until the
child died.

I would think that when the parent closes the pipe, the child should die,
assuming the child dies when it detects the read error (or eof? not sure) on
the pipe.  Hmm.  Got a tiny example code which would fit up here?
