[TUHS] fork

[Folkert van Heusden via TUHS]

Hello,

I succeeded in implementing DEQNA support in my emulator so I could put 
it on-line with a simple HTTP server on BSD 2.11.

Now something unexpected is happening: after a request, a "<defunct>" 
proces is left in the process list. Usually that is caused by a fork() 
not being join()ed afterwards. But in main() of httpdp I invoke 
signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN); so I thought I took care of that?

Could it be that old UNIX systems do not allow the signal-construction 
for that? Or is something else going wrong?

regards

p.s. it is on http://pdp.komputilo.nl:8080/ (behind a NAT router) and it 
takes quite a while to serve pages :-)
