I thought about this a couple times. There's some race between parent process
and the fork closing the file handle for STDOUT. The best approach is to use
some lib for creating child processes that takes care of this, or look
carefully at what process needs a handle for STDOUT and which doesn't.

The backgrounded job is supposed to communicate its status through the DB, and
the progress bars talk to a separate /svc endpoint, so the backgrounded job
doesn't need STDOUT. That's why it is being closed (I guess) but it looks wrong
at first glance.
