new bug introduced
We've got some scripts (perl) that fork a child to do background
work while the parent returns a response to the client to say "come
back later".
1.1b0 worked fine, but with 1.1b1 under HPUX the connection remains
open until the child exits.
Here's a simplified version of the script which would have worked
under 1.1b0 and 1.0.3
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
print "done";
close STDOUT;
if (fork()) {exit(0);}
sleep 10;
-=-=-=-
So what happened ?
