:Hi,
:
:   Well, the good news is I haven't made inetd fail... The bad news
:is that by default the SIGCHLD, SIGHUP and, SIGALRM signals are now
:being  blocked when the fork()/exec() calls are made.
:
:   So... The child process does not receive these signals by default
:anymore.  This is major behavior modification and definitely causes
:some very interesting side effects... :-)  Love them Zombies!
:
:   We still need to unblock the signals in the child process after
:the fork... The following should do the trick:

    Yup.  Commited... though I'm unblocking just before the exec call.
    I think it amounts to the same thing.
