This is saying
- lonsql Process Id 2453 starts
- lonsql 2453 starts a seperate child (likely some other program in a
system call)
- This other progam exited, and the lonsql 2453 notices this other
child 2454 exiting

Does your fetch enrollement do any system calls or `` ?

Can you call the &main::logthis() sub instead that should add the
message to the lonsql.log file

Additionaly I would uncomment the 

	        # &logthis("QUERY: $query - $arg1 - $arg2 - $arg3");
in lonsql
and add &logthis() calls bracketting the
$locresult = &localenroll::fetch_enrollment($dom,\%affiliates,\%replies);

To make sure it is getting called.
