Add this snip to userChrome.css to make it go away!

Once the fork occurs, the "main" process doesn't have any communication channel except waitpid, so it's hard to tell what happened. With this function, a pipe is opened for the forked child to communicate errors. If the exec succeeds, then the pipe is automatically closed, and the main process reports success. Otherwise, the errno from exec is communicated through the pipe.
