forks not cleaned up when -x passed file that does not exist #384
Description
Passing the -x option to hisat2 with a filename that does not exist results in an error and the process exits as expected:
$ hisat2 -x DOES_NOT_EXIST -U input.fq.gz
(ERR): "DOES_NOT_EXIST" does not exist
Exiting now ...
$But if this same command is the input to a pipe, then the process hangs:
$ hisat2 -x DOES_NOT_EXIST -U input.fq.gz | wc
(ERR): "DOES_NOT_EXIST" does not exist
Exiting now ...This is due to forks() not being cleaned up. I have PR that I will be submitting very shortly....
