Interesting.  But that shows a case with no pipes connected, using
select() as a dumb sleep and ignoring SIGCHLD.  In our usage we have
pipes connected, and I think select() should return when the child's
output pipes become readable due to EOF.  I guess something about that
might be b0rked on Windows?  I see there is an extra helper process
doing socket<->pipe conversion (hah, that explains an extra ~10ms at
the start in my timestamps)... I can't really follow that code, but
perhaps the parent forgot to close the far end of the socket pair, so
there is no EOF?
