Yeah I changed the SIGCLD handling for beta5 as it was
incorrectly eating the process return value in the old
SIGCLD handler (that's what the new CatchChildLeaveStatus()
function is for).

Can you run with debug level 10 and check what the forked
child is doing. It should just run the password sync program
then exit (and the SIGCLD should be caught by the parent).
