Problem when forking

Hello everyone,

I am seeing too many messages like "unexpected EOF on client connection".
I've made a reasearch and I know the reason: I have processes that fork and
don't close the connection causing those warnings.

My questions is: is there a way to avoid that behavior beside of closing
the connection before forking?

Maybe close the file descriptor without closing the connection...

This is not causing any trouble, but my log increases very quickly with
useless information.

You can fork, you just have to make sure one side keeps talking to Postgres
like normal, and the other should pretend Postgres is not there. It
should also not do anything that would affect the first connection.

In general, it is a really good rule to fork *then* connect.
