Sorry, for taking so long to get back to you but I'm just now starting
to recover from a cold or something. I've also got most of my stuff
packed up to move this Sunday.

After spending some time with the squid & emx code, I'm starting to
wonder if my time won't be better spent improving the emx library. Most
notably, sockets aren't inherited across exec*() calls.
One of the other main issues is that's you can't rename (or unlink)
open files. Unfortuanatly I'm having a little trouble following the
code paths for handling the file handle closing.
If I call file_close() and flags.write_daemon is set, then the close
will be delayed but I'm not sure what to call to force the close
properly. This is causing a race condition on startup & shutdown for
the cache logs (swap.state, swap.state.new, swap.state.clean,
swap.state.last-clean). Anybody?
