I built NN 6.4 patchlevel 4 on an HP 9000/350 under
HP-UX 7.0.  I used the configuration file for HP-UX 6.5.
However, nnmaster, when started from /etc/rc at system
startup time ("nnmaster -l -r -C"), dies right after checking
database consistency.  It reports "got hangup".  This did not
occur with HP-UX 6.5.

The problem is related to DETATCH_TERMINAL in NN, setpgrp() in HP-UX, and
changes to setpgrp in HP-UX 7.0.  The problem can be fixed by using the
following file "s-hpux7-0.h" in place of s-hpux6-5.h.

 *	  use of setprgp to correspond to changes in HP-UX 7.0
 *	  as described in 7.0 release notes page 5-1
