Ugh. I'd love it if we could avoid inserting a sleep, which wastes time
in the optimistic case and is insufficient in the pessimistic one.

The fact that the hook is already using sleep is even nastier, as it
that's a potential race on a loaded system.

Can we do some signaling with fifos to tell the hook when it is safe to
exit? Then we would just need to `wait` for its parent process.
