As I have no access to a vanilla sysV box, I was unable to verify the code
in question.  daemon.c was originally written by Jim Fulton who 
promised me that it was portable :-).  The questionable code is for
HPUX only, on vanilla sysV you should replace the ioctl with something like:

	signal (SIGHUP, SIG_IGN);
	signal (SIGINT, SIG_IGN);
	signal (SIGQUIT, SIG_IGN);

which will do approximately the same thing.  I am forwarding the original
message to xbugs, where a formal fix will eventually wind its way back to
the real world.
