Io error in X


Hi,
	I was wondering if anyone with some X windows/GTK knowledge could help
me out. I am writing an application using GTK which forks a new process
to read/write to a file in the background. This works fine, however,
when I try to terminate the new process using exit(0) I get an X IO
error. This happens even if I set up a signal handler for SIGCHLD. If I
terminate the background process using abort() I don't get this error,
but it does have the unfortunate side effect of dumping core ! Is there
any way of getting around these problems and getting the child process
to terminate cleanly ?

TIA,
Gabriel Finch.
