Bug#427772: [patch] detach from controlling tty in non-debug mode

[Florian Lohoff]

Hi,
bird needs something like this because in case it daemonizes it still
keeps the fds open of the controlling tty which is bad in case you'd
like to log out which then will hang.

I already opened a Debian Bug - See:
