It's not a good thing, though fixing it might be tricky.

Do you actually need to know immediately the child exits?  Perhaps
it's enough to reap on the next connection.  If you need to know then
you might keep a pipe open to each child, then `select' on them plus
the listening port.  Whichever has some action (incoming connect or
exited child) can show up.
