The pdump tool works as the secondary process. When the primary process
exits and the residual secondary process keeps running, it will make the
primary process can't start up again. Since the ex-fbarry files are still
attached by the secondary process pdump, the 'new' primary process can't
get these files locked.

The patch is to set up an alarm which runs every 0.5s periodically
to monitor the primary process in the pdump. Once the primary exits,
so will the pdump.

That's not correct to add Reviewed-by lines if it was not explicitly
found in a previous reply.
Suanming, I think you need to remove some lines above.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the guidelines.
Yes, the tags should be as below since just Anatoly gave the Reviewed-by 
tag and Reshma gave the Acked-by tag in the previous mail.

Sorry for the mistake and the late response.
(I wish my thunderbird would correctly handle the In-Reply-To header by 
direct click the mailto link.)
