[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 1.3.3 on FreeBSD 3-STABLE

[Lowkrantz, Goran]

Hi,

This is what I get when I run gdb on the core. It seems like the child dies,
the parent get a SIGCHLD but will continue to wait.

I will check further.

I'm currently downloading FreeBSD, so I can test this. Under Linux it works
o.k.

syslog-ng goes to background the following way:

parent:
read configuration
if config syntactically correct then fork(); wait for SIGTERM signal

child:
initialize configuration (open sockets etc.)
if successful; close fds 0, 1, 2, become a session leader, send SIGTERM
signal to parent

You can find all of this in main.c
