Is the subprocess a jed-script?  If so, you could always try a
variation of this slang code:

   parent_pid = getppid ();
      .
      .
   if (-1 == kill (parent_pid, 0))
     {
        % parent process has exited
        exit (1);
     }

The signal handling functions in slang are not imported by jed because
jed makes extensive use of signals, and in particular catches SIGHUP.

Does this help?
