Subject: Patch for fork model

Hello,

I've updated my stunnel patch for moving the syslog
calls out of the SIGCHLD signal handlers. It is now
checked against 4.03. This patch changes the signal
handler so that it uses a flag and does not call
syslog. This also allows proper accounting of children
running since the reaping loop is serialized.

The patch also adds one more thing since I originally
posted it to this mail list back in October. It sets a
umask of 077 so that just in case stunnel core dumps,
the core file is not world readable.

You can download the patch from:

Cheers,
