Sorry, master -w" DOES fork (it's re-implemented with clone() on LINUX).
-w Wait in a dummy foreground process, while the real master daemon
initializes in a background process. The dummy foreground
process returns a zero exit status only if the master daemon
initialization is successful, and if it completes in a reason-
able amount of time.
