Bug Description

When a layer is run in a sub-process - via spawn_layer_in_subprocess() - and the sub-process segfaults, the invoking process gets stuck spinning on select().

strace reports the following continuously:

  select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 10000}) = 0 (Timeout)

The following thread on launchpad-dev might be interesting for some background:
