Yay. Sorry for not having time for this, got flooded under with 3.5.1
feedback but things are settling down again now.

 src/ipc/* does most of the SMP related stuff. I was expecting issues
from UDS TypedMessage needing special Windows code to pass handles
between the processes.

It may also be related to the main.cc code forking initial daemon/worker.
