            # the second fork to avoid premature termination of the process. The
            # reason is that when the first child terminates, all processes, e.g.
            # the second child, in the orphaned group will be sent a SIGHUP.
            #
            # 'However, as part of the session management system, there are exactly
            # two cases where SIGHUP is sent on the death of a process:
            #
            #   1) When the process that dies is the session leader of a session that
            #      is attached to a terminal device, SIGHUP is sent to all processes
            #      in the foreground process group of that terminal device.
            #   2) When the death of a process causes a process group to become
            #      orphaned, and one or more processes in the orphaned group are
            #      stopped, then SIGHUP and SIGCONT are sent to all members of the
            #      orphaned group.' [2]
            #
            # The first case can be ignored since the child is guaranteed not to have
            # a controlling terminal. The second case isn't so easy to dismiss.
            # The process group is orphaned when the first child terminates and
            # POSIX.1 requires that every STOPPED process in an orphaned process
            # group be sent a SIGHUP signal followed by a SIGCONT signal. Since the
            # second child is not STOPPED though, we can safely forego ignoring the
            # SIGHUP signal. In any case, there are no ill-effects if it is ignored."

            # Second fork.
            # This second fork is not absolutely necessary, it is more a precaution.
            # 1. Prevent possibility of reacquiring a controlling terminal.
            # Without this fork the daemon would remain a session-leader. In
            # this case there is a potential possibility that the process could
            # reacquire a controlling terminal. E.g. if it opens a terminal device,
            # without using the O_NOCTTY flag. In Perl this is normally the case
            # when you use <open> on this kind of device, instead of <sysopen>
            # with the O_NOCTTY flag set.
            # Note: Because of the second fork the daemon will not be a session-
            # leader and therefore Signals will not be send to other members of
            # his process group. If you need the functionality of a session-leader
            # you may want to call POSIX::setsid() manually on your daemon.
            # 2. Detach the daemon completely from the parent.
            # The double-fork prevents the daemon from becoming a zombie. It is
            # needed in this module because the grandparent process can continue.
            # Without the second fork and if a child exits before the parent
            # and you forget to call <wait> in the parent you will get a zombie
            # until the parent also terminates. Using the second fork we can be
