[SVN] Problem Detaching a Forked Process

[Adam Elliot]

I've been working on a bundle that needs to run a secondary command  
in the background that sends updates to a nib file via tm_dialog  
while the primary thread finishes up and displays a web page.   
Although once the web page is displayed the secondary process should  
remain active until the window open with tm_dialog -a is closed.  The  
problem I'm having is when I do:

pid = Process.fork do
# Run the secondary process loop
end
Process.detach pid

The primary process runs until I call TextMate.exit_show_html at  
which point it appears to get stuck in a wait loop.  Unfortunately  
this causes TextMate to hang.   Is their a way to have the primary  
process not wait, but exit?

Thanks,
Adam
