    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.
