A quick question....

Has anyone got any idea why a SIGHUP is sent to all processes started by
/etc/rc.local once the script has finished ?  This has caused me quite
a few problems (well one anyway) because my 'innd' process would dissappear
for no apparent reason shortly after starting - it doesn't ignore SIGHUP.

I've fixed it by saying `trap "" 1` in /etc/rc.local before calling rc.news,
but I'm not sure why the SIGHUP in the first place...
