Quering the database causes never ending tasks

[antoniolore]

Hello!

I'm trying to use this library in order to speed up record processing.

I'm working on a Laravel Command (v11, PHP 8.3). The Laravel command need to query a table on a database. For each record I need to do some processing. I would like to speed up the whole process by using spatie/fork. However, something is causing task to not be finished. I have to kill the process manually.

Environment:

• homestead-arm on Sonoma 14.5
• Laravel 11 on PHP 8.3
• Database Firebird

I created a little snippet as follow:

        $pagamenti = TPagamenti::orderBy('NomePagamento', 'ASC');
        // $pagamenti = $pagamenti->get();
        
        $count = 0;
        $functions = [];
        while ($count < 100) {
            $functions[] = function () use ($count) {
                $this->info('Processing ' . $count);
                return $count;
            };

            $count++;
        }

        $results = Fork::new()->run(... $functions);

when $pagamenti = $pagamenti->get(); is commented out everything works fine and the command exits with no errors and the $results has the intended results.

If I uncomment $pagamenti = $pagamenti->get(); the command randomly hangs with no reason.

Any clue?
