Summary: Cannot wait on Process - service_daemon/service_main

Initial Comment:
First of all a warm thank you to all contributors of this excellent library.

Windows XP Pro SP2
Ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]
Service 0.5.2
Process 0.5.3

I am using code based on the examples tdaemon.rb and tdaemon_ctl.rb

Within tdaemon.rb/service_main() I launch an exe using Process.create and then
use Process.waitpid2(process_id) to catch it if it crashes and then restart it.

This works fine but when I call service_stop to kill the process it the call
blocks until I kill the exe externally.

Any suggestions ?
