Fatal child errors

[Jim Jagielski <ji...@jaguNET.com>]

Looking over the code, it appears that most of the mutex errors
that the cild processes worry about should be fatal. In fact, most
places where clean_child_exit(1) is called, it should be a totally
fatal error... Comments?

Sounds right... but it's still a good idea to use a constant that's not 0,
1, or -1... in case folks slip those into the code without us being awake.
42 is a nice number ;)

It looks like set_group_privs should be using clean_child_exit rather than
exit.
