Thanks for looking at it.

My original code had "tar" running, which is a child of the shell as well... I assume running exec in the shell may help somewhat, but not a cure obviously.

I'm all for killing the process group. "Run something and get it's about" should be simple enough without requiring a programmer to know all POSIX process semantics.
