I can't reproduce your problem with the code given. The last output of your program goes like this:

11733 started. Got arguments: i2 j2
11734 started. Got arguments: k2 l2
11735 started. Got arguments: m2 n2
11736 started. Got arguments: o2 p2
11737 started. Got arguments: q2 r2
Foobar!
Foobar!

11737 returned 0.
11734 returned 0.
11736 returned 0.
11735 returned 0.
11733 returned 0.
11738 started. Got arguments: s2 t2
11739 started. Got arguments: u2 v2
11740 started. Got arguments: w2 y2
11741 started. Got arguments: x2 z2

and then it terminates as expected.

I'm on v5.8.0 built for i586-linux-thread-multi.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
