tmda-ofmipd: why does it not fork to background like normal daemons?

[Bernard Johnson]

Perhaps I have missed this in an earlier discussion... Is there a particular reason that tmda-ofmipd does not fork to the background like a normal daemon would?  I have a patch that I'm using on my system now that makes it do this, as the init scripts parts of redhat seem to expect that behaviour.   Is there a particular reason it doesn't do this already?
