Hi,

Actually, closing and creating a new loop in the child doesn't work either, at least on Linux.

When, in the child, we call loop.close(), it performs:
self.remove_reader(self._ssock)
(in selector_events.py, _close_self_pipe() around line 85)

Both the parent and the child still refer to the same underlying epoll structure, at that moment, and calling remove_reader() has an effect on the parent process too (which will never watch the self-pipe again).

I attached a test case that demonstrates the issue (and the workaround, commented).
