[busybox][patch] httpd.c - CGI scripts can't fork

[Jon Nalley]

I ran into some problems calling a CGI that forks.  Here is the issue:

Because of the signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN) in openServer() the forked CGI
process is unable to catch SIGCHLD and reap it's own children (and get
their exit status).  I added signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_DFL); just before the
execv() in sendCgi() and this fixed it.

I don't believe the waitpid() in sendCgi() ever gets called though... 
Perhaps it would be better to add the signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_DFL); just
before the fork() in sendCgi()?
