SYSV cgi subprocesses exit codes

According to http://www-iwi.unisg.ch/~dlincke/httpd-ext.html

   There's a bug in httpd's POSIX/SYSV signal handling routines. 
   The signal handler for CGI child processes is being set 
   to SIG_IGN instead of SIG_DFL resulting in wait(2), waitpid(2) 
   etc.  returning incorrect exit statuses for child processes 
   of CGI processes. 


This was something I was having problems with. Someone suggested
I use a "SYSV" CFLAG, but that didn't work.

Patch id  B92   works for me.
