so we're working on converting the old mantis db to bugzilla, but it's not complete (attachments are missing). i tried searching for this but wasnt able to find it. could you give it a spin ? http://bugstest.busybox.net/ otherwise i dont suppose you could dig up your old patch ? having daemon() support in uClibc would be pretty nice to have under no-mmu ... i read through the clone() man page for a while, but i couldnt seem to trick my head into figuring out how to emulate proper behavior where the parent and grand parent die but the child keeps running, and the child is able to return to the calling function with the stack intact. -mike
