[Chicago-talk] fork and talk to the parent

[Jay Strauss]

Ok, I guess I was too unspecific

the parent will be in an infinite loop.  The forked child will be sitting
(also in a infinite loop) listening on a socket.  When the child gets a
message from the socket, based on the message, it may need to send that data
to the parent.
