Ok, sorry :)
Also see Piet's comment here. He has a valid case against sys.exit in
some cases. Thus it appears that both ways of shutting down child
processes might be dangerous: If we don't want buffers to flush we
have to use os._exit. If we want clean-up code to execute we have to
use sys.exit. If we want both we are screwed. :(
