Tom,

What Justin said. I did test it by commenting out the signal and killing the
child, and waitpid() does detect that correctly.

The timeout is supposed to be long enough that if you hit it something is wrong
and you are better off getting a warning message and continuing in case the
child process is actually running ok and the problem was just with the signal.
That's supposed to be better than having the script that calls spamd hung up
indefinitely. If you have experience that real heavily loaded systems take
longer than 30 seconds to start up spamd I can increase the number.
