If the parent is activating the child with a non-zero 'allow' parameter to
ACTIVATE, you need to change that last call to pass zero for 'allow' (or
omit it). Alternatively, the parent can continue to activate the child with
allow==2, but the child will have to call ACTIVATE on the parent PIN (with
'allow' omitted or set to zero) before it exits. Or, if the parent is
calling SUSPEND(2) while the child runs, don't do that in the case where the
child is being activated so it can exit.
