Fix inadvertent v0.11 changes to the definition of suicide, particularly the relationship between suicide state, the disconnect event, and when exit should occur. In v0.10, workers don't forcibly exit on disconnect, it doesn't give them time to do a graceful finish of open client connections, they exit under normal node rules - when there is nothing left to do. But on unexpected disconnect they do exit so the workers aren't left around after the master. Note that a test as-written was invalid, it failed against the v0.10 cluster API, demonstrating that it was an undocumented API change.
Evented I/O for V8 javascript.

You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from http://nodejs.org/download/. The Windows and OS X installers will prompt you for the location to install to. The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory with:
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
Or system-wide with:
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
/path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
To run the tests:
Unix/Macintosh:
make test
Windows:
