+=head1 EXCEPTIONS
+
+There are no provisions whatsoever for catching exceptions at this time -
+in the child, exeptions might kill the process, causing calls to be lost
+and the parent encountering a fatal error. In the parent, exceptions in
+the result callback will not be caught and cause undefined behaviour.
+
 =head1 SEE ALSO
