Description philipp.lohmann 2003-03-24 09:25:27 UTC 
in sal/osl/unx/socket.c:870 in case of a missing /bin/domainname there is a
exit(-1) in the fork'ed process. This is not really wrong, but causes bad side
effects: destructors are called which e.g. close the X display connection; since
the connection is shared after the fork() it tells the Xserver that this client
is dead, which leads to the main process receiving an XIO error (or IceIO error
whichever comes first) - meaning instant termination of the main process. Please
use _exit() instead which will not cose such problems as it only close the open
file descriptors for the fork()'ed process. Please also have a look whether
there are similar action in the code.

Please fix this for OOo 1.0.3 also.
