Yes, that's intentional... Kerns reasoning: The daemons are supposed to
run non-interactively, so they should never encounter these signals,
thus they ignore them. For debugging purposes only you use the -f
switch, preferrably together with -s, and best under gdb.
My solution, by the way, is to run the daemons as daemons, but redirect
their output to a file which I can look at as often as I want.

Try removing this...

Definitely, but setting the block size to zero is usually the right
thing to do.

Probably polling...
