ghci and ghc -threaded broken with pipes & forking

[Brian B]

Hi Bulat,

My contribution to the survey: I've used forkProcess to daemonize
a ghc program inside the haskell fuse bindings:
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HFuse
http://code.haskell.org/hfuse/System/Fuse.hsc

If removing the non-threaded RTS would break forkProcess entirely,
these bindings would have to do something different. The issue: users
of the FUSE C api will get daemonized using daemon(2); it'd be
nice if GHC fuse programs could behave similarly.

Thanks,
Brian Bloniarz
