/* Start as a daemon: fork a new child process which will run the

+ Detaching a daemon requires the following steps:
+ - fork
+ - setsid
+ - exit the parent
+ - close the tty file-descriptors
+
+ We only want to do the last 2 steps once the daemon is ready to
+ serve requests, i.e. after loading .emacs (initialization).
+ OTOH initialization may start subprocesses (e.g. ispell) and these
+ should be run from the proper process (the one that will end up
+ running as daemon) and with the proper "session id" in order for
+ them to keep working after detaching, so fork and setsid need to be
+ performed before initialization.
+
We want to avoid exiting before the server socket is ready, so
use a pipe for synchronization. The parent waits for the child
to close its end of the pipe (using `daemon-initialized')
