I spent a fair amount of time fooling with this, trying to extract
something that I trusted enough to apply at this late date, but got
stuck on one point. Exiting when the postmaster dies is *not* good
enough; we want the logger to stick around until the last process
upstream of the logger pipe is gone. In the Unix case we can detect
this by watching for EOF on the pipe, but I don't know how to do the
equivalent in this threaded scheme you've devised for Windows.
(Why is the separate thread needed, again?)
