 * the child (the background) process send the following:
 * void *routine -- routine to be invoked in the parent
 * int  nargc    -- number of arguments
 * int  type     -- Return argument type.
 *
 * If the routine is zero, then it is a way to tell the parent
 * that the process is dying.
 *
 * nargc arguments in the following format:
 * int size of the coming block
 * size bytes with the block
 *
 * Now, the parent loads all those and then invokes
 * the routine with pointers to the information passed
 * (we just support pointers).
 *
 * If the return type is integer:
 *
 *     the parent then writes an int to the child with
 *     the return value from the routine and the values
 *     of any global variable that is modified in the parent
 *     currently: do_append and recursive_result.
 *
 * If the return type is a string:
 *
 *     the parent writes the resulting string length
 *     if the result string was NULL or the empty string,
 *     then the length is zero.
 *     The parent then writes the string length and frees
 *     the result string.
