That's not what I was talking about. Because the child processes don't
close the listening socket, it will still be open even if you kill the
parent process. That in turn means that you cannot start a new server
process until all children have terminated because the port will be
busy. Clients trying to connect to the server while the main process is
terminated by childred still exist will hang instead of abort until the
last child terminate.

It's not an end of the world kind of bug, but it still a bug. But I
suspect that we were talking about different things.
