Comment(by ioerror):

 I've read over the diff here:
 https://gist.github.com/1170726

 It seems sanely written and defensively coded. I wonder about setting
 process security attributes and primary thread security attributes to NULL
 in the child process. Is that simply because the parent already has
 everything we need and it is inherited?

 Overall, I think I'd like to test and compile it but I don't currently
 have a win32 dev machine setup.
