It worked (tested by doing my 3 tests 100 times) by adding a usleep(1);
after my fwrite() command and before doing the fgets() call.

I also now explicitly kill the child pid when I disconnect, but as far
as I can tell that made no difference: ps still shows 300 [gnugo
<defunct>] zombies, but they all disappear when my program closes.

I guess my usleep() is a kludge and the real problem is how I connect or
disconnect. But as multiple connect/disconnects is probably only going
to happen in my unit tests it is good enough.
