While nosing around _do_kid_and_exit() I saw

      ## Avoid DESTROY.
      POSIX::exit 1;

I wonder if that's meant to be POSIX::_exit().  I think POSIX::exit()
runs DESTROY handlers, if the comment is claiming not to want that
... :-).

That's correct. Several cases have asked about this. I'm going to put something in now.
