-# managing connection across forks and threads is tricky.  most libraries use

-# many libs also do not provide you with per-thread connection, making MT a

-# a teeny bit of code can solve both.  the concept is simple:
-#
-# maintain a table of connections scoped by process id and thread id.  any
-# miss will trigger auto-scrubbing the table, but only connections from
-# another process (we've been forked) will be closed.  this gives

-#
-# * per process connections
-#
-# * auto-matic cleanup after a fork
