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

[Vladimir N. Oleynik]

Jon,

But why?
1) If your CGI set signal(SIGCHLD, sigchld_catcher) you can
control SIGCHLD.
2) If not setted sigcatcher, your wait*() work also correct, but
if you forget call wait*(), your child status ignored and zombies
killed automaticaly.

Why?

I don`t know, why signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_DFL) setted from openserver()
by original author.
May be for protect certain EINTR?
