Thanks Gábor.
So I tried the following in gdb:

> set follow-for-mode child
> set detach-on-fork off
> run emacs
[inferior 2 completes]
> inferior 1
[inferior 3 completes]
> inferior 1
[inferior 4 completes]
> inferior 1
[inferior 5 hangs]

GDB seems to be stuck on the 5th inferior.  Maybe this is not so reliable.

"preconv" by itself seems to work perfectly.  It even works in man if it's in
the PATH.  It only breaks from libpipeline.
