This happens only when start_command() returns an error.  But the
function always calls child_process_clear() before doing so.

So I am not sure if this hunk is needed.  It didn't exist in v1, if
I recall correctly.  Am I missing something obvious?

Likewise, at this point, start_command() should have already cleared
cmd before it returned an error, no?

And cmd is also cleared after we pass this point.  So perhaps after
the cleanup label, there is no need to call child_process_clear() at
all, no?
