Generally code after exec() does not get to run, but if the program
to be executed does not exist or is not executable, you should indeed
call _exit() as already mentioned. Don't forget to mark the SSL sockets
"close on exec", so that the child process does not end up with unwanted
descriptors in its file table, it can't use them anyway (it does not
have the necessary data to encrypt/decrypt the data).
