> When an AGI script forks, Asterisk won't keep processing the dialplan when the parent dies.
> By looking at the AGI code I've noticed it waits for an EOF on the stdout file descriptor, and not for the process to die.
> Attached two Python AGI scripts (uses pyst-0.4.38).
> Problematic example: you'll notice the dialplan stops processing until both the parent and child exit (hence closing stdout fd).
> Workaround example: the execution continues when the parent exits and the child closes stdout, not waiting for the entire script execution to terminate.
