A surrogate parent is supposed to keep back-shell children from
deadlocking due to resources locked by a threading parent.

Implementation note: The surrogate parent closes all unused file
descriptors, so it logs errors to stderr instead of via Debug() and
uses relloc() instead of ch_realloc().

Also close a file descriptor leak if fork() fails in fork.c.
