Looks like there could be a problem in launch_script where the fork
fails we don't close our file descriptors down. Not the problem you
describe, but a small problem anyways. Then again, if you failed to
fork, there could be bigger issues about to bring the app down anyways.

Outside of that, I didn't see any problems in the code on a quick look
through. I'll look a little deeper in a while.
