in reply to setsid() and complete (?) dissociation of child from parent

I don't know where you got your information about setsid, but you are wrong. While it will create a new session, it doesn't break the relation between parent and child.

I checked this in "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment", by W. Richard Stevens.

    OK, good. This means I'm not crazy and the "complete dissociation" is not as complete as one may think. :)

    Thanks,
