Hi,

Remember the imessages approach I'm using for Postgres-R? It passes 
messages around using shared memory and signals the receiver on incoming 
data. It's not perfect, sure, but it's a general solution to a common 
problem.

Maybe it's worth a thought, instead of fiddling with signals, special 
shmem areas and possible races every time the 'getting data to another 
process'-problem comes up?

Regards

Markus
