Setsid

Is this expected or am I doing something wrong?:

According to the setsid(2) man page:

ERRORS
The setsid() function will fail if:

 EPERM The calling process is already a process group leader,
       or  the  process group  ID of a process other than the
       calling process matches the process  ID of the calling
       process.

So it’s failing because the Ruby process is already a pgroup leader.
