Hmmm... I suspect your problem would be fixed if the file descriptors
representing your database connections had the close-on-exec flag set
(man fcntl for details).
It would be nice if the autoreload code could set all file descriptors
to close-on-exec before restarting, but I don't know if there's a way to
get a list of all open file descriptors. Anyone?
