Hi

whenn running a process as a daemon with fork() and setsid() the startup code in  
crt0 is not executed properly. A number of calls (getpwent(), gethostbyname()) fail  
after becoming a daemon since some internal data structures are not initialized.

Will this be fixed in b19?

Thanks
Walter Jenny
