yes, threads running around could become a show stopper for both Mono and
MS.NET
This is something I want to be sure of before I begin.

This is actually my plan B, hence it is less dangerous.
I am thinking the "started process" can stay alive and act
as a service of some kind to handle/answer calls form multiple
backends and shutdown itself after a period of time being
idle.
