Description

When executing a process that spawns other processes, DefaultExecutor.execute() does not return until these secondary processes die.

This is a problem for me because I am executing a long-running service that uses long-running helper processes. I want to know if the service process crashes (which leaves the helper processes running), but I never get any notice because execute() does not return. It blocks while calling PumpStreamHandler.stop().
