[Melbourne-pm] fork()ing Windows

That would be because USR1 and USR2 aren't known to Windows. Using kill
(10,$pid2) continues to run OK. I'll have to see if the signal is handled
properly in the child, though.

I hope you set  $SIG{CHLD}='IGNORE';   first.

Yeah, thought I'd try here first. I've heard some talk of forks here
recently.
