in reply to Parallel ForkManager problem: parent dies early before all the child finishes

A guess just from glancing at your code, your (MAX_PROCESSES) is ($tc-1). When you go into your loop, your upper limit is $tc. It's conceivable, your MAX_PROCESSES is being hit. If a count starts at 0, you might be 2 off from 10.

    I don't think ForkManager crashes if you go over the limit; I think it waits. It's possible there is a system limit on the number of process that you're going over.
