Thanks for this commit, but it works exactly in the way, which
I wanted to avoid. It is something like "partially submitted and
not approved by me". Please, could you look once again on it?
Please please please... Thanks. ;-)

- Hunk #1 from commit adds PS_NOCLDWAIT when SIG_IGN is used for
  SIGCHLD, so if I use
	sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
	sa.sa_flags = 0;
	sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
	sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL);
	sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, &so);
  I get additional flag SA_NOCLDWAIT in so.sa_flags. None of tested
  systems (Solaris, Unixware, Irix, Linux, Aix) works in this way.
- If hunk #1 is applied, I see hunk #2 (resetting SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL
  for SIGCHLD) as almost unnecessary, because it is just cosmetic
  change now and behavior in exec() is very different among various
  systems.
- (And I have found another bug in my original patch. Three code lines
  and two bad bugs... :-( :-)

Here are patches for current -current (... which I had to do in the
first posting). These should change the behavior as is in Solaris,
where flags are not added and SIGCHLD is resetted to SIG_DFL after an
exec(). I'm testing these patches on my -stable production backup
server running amanda and up to now without any problem.
