I tested your patch on Linux and Windows. It works well on Linux,
where we use fork(), but falls into segfault on Windows, where we
use exec(). Maybe you forgot to initialize the shared memory stuff.
(I haven't find out where to be fixed, sorry.)

Multiworker and balancing seem to work well after they successfully start up.
