Comment (by dcwatson):
I also ran into this issue when spawning a daemon from a view to build
some reports. Basically, the view called a script using `os.system`, and
the script set `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` and did some processing using
django, after calling `become_daemon`. The `os.system` call would return
immediately, but it looked like django would not finish it's request
processing until after the spawned script finished. Applying this patch
fixed the problem.
I don't fully understand the black art of daemonization, but it seems like
this may not even be an issue on Windows. Nothing is being forked, there
is no "parent process", it's just redirecting `stdin`, `stdout`, and
`stderr`. Regardless, it seems like fixing a bug for posix systems, even
if still exists on Windows, is better for 1.0 than leaving the bug for
both.
