I wrote one a few years ago... I'll see if I can find a soft copy around
somewhere.  From what you have described though, it might be easier to
use the socketpair() call -- creates a pair of connected sockets (SOCK_STREAM,
AF_UNIX).  If you don't need to go over the network, and you are forking
anyway, you might as well use it.
