# This patch causes svscanboot to 'exec' svscan, instead of starting it as a
# child process.  i.e. you end up with
#     (original pid) svscan
#       (some child)   readproctitle
# instead of
#     (original pid) svscanboot
#       (some child)   svscan
#       (some child)   readproctitle
# Previously, if the original pid was killed, svscan and readproctitle would
# become orphans.  With this patch, svscan and readproctitle terminate.

# Side-effect: svscan has an extra file descriptor (usually 63) open, writing
# to the same pipe as stdin and stderr.
