While looking through http_log.c

The function error_log_child ends with:

    exit (1);
    return(child_pid);

Why (and how) both?

Because on win32 it returns the child PID but on other platforms it
doesn't.  To make some compilers not give warnings, you need to have a
return in a function that returns a value, even if the statement right
before is an exit.
