6175	become_daemon should use os._exit instead of sys.exit	tclugg@…	Leo Shklovskii	"django.utils.daemonize.become_daemon forks then uses sys.exit(0) instead of os._exit(0), which can cause some nasty issues.  os._exit is the correct way to exit after forking in Python, as os._exit avoids calling Python cleanup functions which may cause issues such as segfaults.

See http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html for details on os._exit()."		closed	Core (Other)	dev		fixed	daemon, daemonize, become_daemon, segfault		Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
