That and reaping zombies :-)
(and I always prefer to term is as children are killed when the parent
process dies - sounds more sinister :-))

It's very odd. Daemonising from the command line works fine, it's just
when it's run from within an Apache request...
I may well have to do it by creating a full daemon process that is xinetd
monitored and just send requests through a socket. More hassle than I
wanted...
Cheers,
